Although during the Anti-Japanese War in China, many overseas Chinese from Southeast Asia were generous and active in raising funds for the country, and there were even children of overseas Chinese from Southeast Asia who returned to the country to participate in the war. Tang Cheng had great respect for these Nanyang overseas Chinese. What he resented were those Nanyang Chinese families who followed the crowd but did not really help the domestic Nanyang Chinese families. In Tang Cheng's view, this kind of people are typical speculators. While they pretend to be foreigners to raise donations for the country, they are also doing business with the Japanese. The large amount of rubber from Southeast Asia flowing into Japan is the best evidence.
The bureau's plan sounds promising, but Tangcheng must be careful and beware of those two-faced Chinese families who will betray them to Britain and the United States when the time comes. However, these things are still just a plan, and specific things still need to wait for the opportunity. Tangcheng just finished smoking a cigarette. Seeing this, the director straightened his face and began to ask about Tangcheng and the mechanical equipment in northern Myanmar. "I won't hide it from you. Those mechanical equipment that have been temporarily sealed are indeed prepared for the country."
"But you are also aware of the current situation in the country. Once the things I got back from Japan and Europe are shipped back to the country, they may be sold to Japan and Nanyang in a few days. I originally thought that this was a good business with a guaranteed profit, but now I really don’t know what to do!" Tang Cheng, who deliberately did not tell the truth, secretly paid attention to the reaction of the bureau chief, and saw the bureau chief's eyes flashing. Looking at himself with a smile, Tang Cheng knew that the director must have seen something.
There was no need for the bureau chief to ask, Tang Cheng simply said, "Forget it! Anyway, you will know these things in the future! The arsenal in northern Myanmar currently maintains a group of technicians from Yan'an. I will arrange Those German engineers must teach them how to use the machinery and equipment, so that they can at least reach the level of skilled German workers of the same period. Moreover, the machinery and equipment I have sealed in northern Burma are also prepared for them, because I believe that the final peace of They are the only ones causing chaos in the country.”
Tang Cheng, who had been paying attention to the bureau chief's reaction from the corner of his eye, felt that the bureau chief's expression looked a little stiff, so he immediately changed his tone. "Myanmar borders the country. If there is too much quarrel with them, we will only suffer in the future. After all, the country's population is too large. This can be regarded as an advance investment. They want those machinery and equipment. I didn't give them the money for free." The purpose of Tang Cheng's words was just to divert the attention of the bureau chief, but he did not expect that the bureau chief would become even more interested.
Tang Cheng, who was questioned continuously by the director, was forced to tell the truth. "When I was still in Nanjing, I happened to encounter an injured underground party member during a search for a Japanese and puppet agent. I was only focused on chasing the Japanese and puppet agent, and I had no time to deal with the injured underground party member. Besides, I was only chasing the Japanese and puppet agent. , I didn’t look down on the Zhongtong at that time, and I couldn’t wait to ruin their good deeds!” Tang Cheng’s words made the director suddenly remember that when Tang Cheng was still in Nanjing, he had already started fighting with the Zhongtong over conflict.
"It just happened to happen that someone in my sister's school was promoting underground party rhetoric. I was worried that she would accidentally get into trouble, so I went to the school to pick her up from school. I happened to meet the injured underground party member again. The other party thought that I was The first time I deliberately let her go, I took the initiative to reveal my identity. I guess the other party wanted to test me. But you also know that my father passed away not long ago, and my mind was full of how to support the family. How could I catch up? Don't get into that kind of trouble."
"I didn't know why at that time, I just got excited and told the man that if he wanted to repay me, he might as well help me find a few Japanese spies in the city. Who would have thought that the man immediately agreed, and I Didn't I think that if I caught the Japanese and puppet agents, I would get the bounty? Anyway, I didn't help them, and they did provide a lot of information and clues about the Japanese and puppet agents in the city. As time went by, we It’s like we got to know each other, and we’ve stayed together until now.”
"Later, I brought people to northern Myanmar and found that the number of Chinese in northern Myanmar was too small, so I encouraged the bosses in Chongqing to help me recruit immigrants to go south to northern Myanmar. The Chongqing underground party must have learned the news, By the time I realized something was wrong, they already had their people in northern Myanmar. I didn’t know what Yan’an was doing, but I knew it was definitely not suitable for northern Myanmar, because the Chinese in northern Myanmar had already formed interest groups. . Moreover, I also used this kind of interest relationship to control northern Myanmar in the early stage."
"I don't want to offend them, and I can't kill their people. I can only negotiate with their people who can make the decision. Anyway, the country doesn't pay attention to my place at all, so I simply reached an agreement with the Yan'an side. I help them train basic technical personnel for skilled workers. , they help me continue to recruit people with no land at home to migrate south to northern Myanmar. If it were not for their help, the number of Chinese in northern Myanmar would not be close to one million so quickly." Tang Cheng's words are actually true and false. However, looking at the reaction of the bureau chief, it was obvious that he did not hear the loopholes in Tang Cheng's words.
"You! You are still too young, and you don't think clearly when doing things! Do you think that because the domestic situation is chaotic, no one really pays attention to you? Maybe no one pays attention to you now, but this does not mean that no one will pay attention to you in the future Attention. Yan'an launched its offensive from north to south. When I left Nanjing, the military commander's intelligence station in the northeast sent back intelligence. After the Soviet army forced the Kwantung Army to surrender, it has been smuggling industrial equipment and various types of goods outside the customs. resource."
"You have to know that the foundation of a country is industry. Yan'an will never sit idly by while the Soviets evacuate the border areas. Therefore, they must start fighting outside the border now and control the border areas before they can go all the way south. If the national army is defeated, they will also We can only retreat all the way south, and Myanmar is in the far south. Do you think that if the national army retreats, will those defeated troops come towards Myanmar? Although you in Tangcheng are not in the army, you are still considered to be the number one figure. He who is called a town tiger can be considered a leading figure in Chongqing."
"We have talked before. Once the domestic situation deteriorates out of control, the old man's last resort is to go to Taiwan. But Taiwan is an island after all. The national army exceeds one million. Counting their families, there are several million Do you think it is possible for people to flood into that island together? Moreover, according to the old man’s temperament, how could he give up? The southwest is mountainous. As long as a few troops are deployed and use guerrilla tactics to fight mountain guerrilla warfare with the Eighth Route Army, do you think Can it be delayed for a few more years?”
"Moreover, the old man has the support of Americans behind him. As long as he establishes a firm foothold in Taiwan, relies on the support of Americans to train a few elite troops, and then contacts the troops staying at home, even if there is no hope of counterattack, it will cause some trouble for Yan'an. It is more than enough to come out. What if the old man wants to use Myanmar to attack Yunnan and Guangxi? Who told you that Myanmar is bordering the country, and you are still under the national army in principle Captain officer."
The director's words left Tang Cheng speechless. After a moment, Tang Cheng could only curse the old man in his heart for being unreasonable. "The current armed forces in northern Myanmar can only defeat a dozen Burmese natives. The last time you fought against the Thai army, it was also because of the Zionist army. If several divisions of the national army were to suppress it, your I am afraid that the armed forces in northern Myanmar will have to take the initiative to retreat when the time comes. I am not trying to give others prestige, but I am reminding you not to underestimate the military leaders of the national army."
Although Tang Cheng rarely interacted with people from the military when he was in Chongqing, he had never underestimated any national army unit. From the Marco Polo Bridge Incident to the Battle of Songhu, the Chinese army seemed to be retreating steadily, but that did not mean that the Chinese army could not fight. The real reason was that the Chinese army's weapon configuration was too poor and the various units could not maintain unified deployment. Ever since the Chinese army began to equip American equipment, the Japanese army that faced them had never taken advantage. This undoubtedly proved Tang Cheng's point of view all along.
"The terrain in northern Myanmar is actually not suitable for large-scale operations! If there are several divisions of enemies going south and crossing the border, I will first choose to use aircraft to completely cut off the enemy's logistics supply lines. Cut off their retreat first, and then let our troops We broke into pieces and engaged in mountain warfare with the enemy. Northern Myanmar is mountainous and watery, and the armed forces in northern Myanmar have been conducting mountain warfare training in this terrain for more than a year. The time, place and people are favorable, and we have all occupied, and the opponent The only advantage is strength in numbers."
"There are not only counterfeit banknote factories in northern Myanmar, but also several pilot training bases built in hidden valleys!" Tang Cheng chuckled and took out a few photos and handed them to the bureau chief. "The helicopter in the photo is a new aircraft developed by the Germans just before their defeat. Although this kind of aircraft is small, it can rise and land straight on the spot, and machine guns and machine guns can be installed on both sides of the cabin. It carries a rocket launcher. Although this new type of aircraft is not as effective as a fighter jet, as long as it is well trained, the helicopter can also display considerable combat effectiveness."
"Among the engineers Hans brought back from Germany, there were several who were involved in the research and development of this new aircraft. I gave them a life in the sun and a remuneration several times higher than that of the same engineers. The only The requirement is to upgrade this new type of miniaturized aircraft according to my requirements. As long as I have ten of these helicopters, I can contain at least three regiments of enemy forces in terrain like northern Myanmar. .”
"The photos you see are already the upgraded third-generation helicopter. It can maintain a combat range of 30 kilometers while carrying three combatants and a heavy machine gun. If it is just transporting Weapons and equipment, this new type of helicopter can transport more than half a ton of weapons and ammunition at a time. Moreover, there are tanks and armored vehicles in northern Myanmar. In two months, Thailand will train three German infantry regiments with a total of 5,000 troops. , you can change your defenses and station in northern Myanmar."
