"Compared with the French army, most of the Vietnamese soldiers are farmers. Even if the casualty comparison is one to one, the French army will suffer. Therefore, as long as the French army is deceived and goes north, sneak attacks on the logistics supply line and non-stop attacks along the line can make the French army suffer. The French army collapsed on the spot. I predict that sooner or later there will be a battle between the French and the local Vietnamese resistance forces. According to my understanding of the Vietnamese. Once they defeat the French army, they will immediately become arrogant. Maybe they will feel that they You can also bite off a piece of meat from Thailand.”
Henry heard Tang Cheng's words very carefully. It wasn't until Tang Cheng said the last words that Henry understood Tang Cheng's purpose. "That's right! I'm going to deploy you on the front line of the border, just to be on guard against the Vietnamese! When the Youth Army was training at the border, they encountered Vietnamese crossing the border and trying to enter northern Thailand. You are all professionals A soldier's combat effectiveness far exceeds that of a young soldier, and you have fought in mountain warfare, so you have actual combat experience."
"The situation in Vietnam is similar to Myanmar. There are many mountains and trees, but not many places suitable for farming. This makes the Vietnamese aggressive by nature. Once they form an army and defeat the French army, provocation and expansion are very effective. It's possible. I don't want to be the piece of fat in their eyes, so I can only strike first! You are stationed at the border. In your daily life, don't forget to carry out targeted training in mountain warfare. If you have the opportunity, it is best to Find out the route into Vietnam.”
Mercenaries work for money, and the salary offered by Tangcheng is not low. Henry doesn't want to lose this good job yet. After thinking about it secretly, Henry didn't say much. He just asked Tangcheng for equipment and supplies. Henry's request was not unreasonable, so Tangcheng did not refuse the other party's request. However, Tangcheng did not give a specific time for the defense change, and Henry did not take the initiative to mention it.
Originally, Tang Cheng was not interested in Vietnam, and he knew that after World War II, Vietnam would not only fight the French, but also the Americans in the future. Even if he wanted to control Vietnam, Tangcheng could just wait for the Americans to fail and then take advantage of Vietnam's weakened vitality to take advantage of it. But there are still millions of Chinese people living in Vietnam. These Chinese people are the main reason why Tangcheng wants to get involved in Vietnam. After all, the number of Chinese people in Myanmar is still too small.
After arranging the whereabouts of the mercenary troops, Tangcheng began to fully respond to the events in central Thailand. With strong suppression and generous conditions, many local Thais who originally opposed Tangcheng have gradually begun to change their attitudes. When the Thai royal family was still there, the actual life of everyone was not very good. Most of the benefits were in the hands of local family forces, and the life of ordinary people was not very good. Now that Tangcheng is here, not only will they allocate more fields to everyone, but they will also provide agricultural machinery for farming, which they never thought of before.
Moreover, after Tangcheng came, they also reduced the previous agricultural tax to the minimum. This means that they who only rely on farming to survive will have more surplus in the future. The previous family power has been completely banned after being brought to Tangcheng. They, including farmers, will only accept the management of the government from now on, and ordinary people like them, including the police, cannot be moved up and down for no reason. Moreover, the government has organized farmers' associations, and the crops cultivated by farmers will be purchased through the farmers' association at unified prices.
"Boss, is this really okay?" Seeing the drastic changes in order in Tangcheng, and only one mayor and a few clerks being appointed in each town, Henry, who has been serving as the guard of Tangcheng these days, felt somewhat confused. Tangcheng only appointed a mayor and clerk, but the villages below did not even appoint a village chief. Henry had been in Thailand for a while, and he knew the situation in Thailand fairly well. He did not believe those who were grateful to Tangcheng. Thai farmers can manage their own villages well.
When Tang Cheng heard this, he grinned and spread his hands, "Then what do you think we should do? There are only so many people around me that can be used. Even if I put them all down, it's still not enough! These locals are the most familiar with the situation here. , if they don’t let them manage themselves, how can I still manage them myself! What I want now is stability. As for the others, let’s talk about it later!” Tang Cheng himself was not worried about Henry’s worries, but he didn’t worry about it at all now. There is no other way.
Tang Cheng finally understood what the weird smile that Bureau Zuo directed at him meant when he was separated from him! When the Bureau and Tang Cheng separated, they specifically talked to Tang Cheng about managing Thailand. At that time, Tang Cheng was not focused on this matter at all, so he didn't pay too much attention to it. Now that I think about it carefully, the director must have foreseen the difficulties he is facing now. After all, the steps are too big and it is really easy to pull the crotch.
But things have come to this point, so what can Tangcheng do? They can only try their best to find a way to deal with it. In just twenty days, Tang Cheng took Henry and the others to many places in central Thailand and solved many problems, temporarily stabilizing the situation in central Thailand. It's just that things are unpredictable. The Tangcheng side worked hard to stabilize the situation in central Thailand. Zhang Jiang and the other side in Yangon Port were in trouble.
Even in later generations, the Indians who dared to claim to be the strongest in Asia did not know if there was something wrong with their brains. A British transport ship full of Indians suddenly appeared in Yangon Port. Zhang Jianghe, who has been sitting in Yangon Port, has been responsible for the transportation of goods between Myanmar and Europe. After all, there are still British troops in Myanmar who have not withdrawn. Zhang Jianghe is also responsible for daily exchanges with the British troops in Myanmar. He originally thought that this transport ship flying the British flag was related to the British army in Burma.
But he never expected that after the transport ship docked at the dock, a whole boatload of Indians disembarked. Moreover, these Indians were all armed. The Indians at the head gave Zhang Jianghe a reason to laugh or cry. They were the guards of the Burmese royal family. Zhang Jianghe didn't care at all whether Myanmar had a royal family. What he cared about was that these Indians dared to use the same excuses that Tang Cheng had used to attack Myanmar. Although Zhang Jianghe was missing an arm, he was from the military after all. Seeing that something was wrong, he immediately ordered the shooting.
Although the Indians who got off the British transport ship were all armed, they felt that there were British warships behind them to cheer them on, but they did not expect that the people on the dock actually dared to open fire first. After the intensive gunfire, the dock was filled with corpses, and the screams of the injured were even more painful to listen to. Zhang Jianghe, who was hiding behind the bunker, ignored all this and just asked the light machine gun next to him to reload before scanning the outside.
Most of the more than a hundred Indians who got off the British transport ship were knocked down in one encounter. The remaining Indians who had not yet had time to get under the ship could only rely on the side of the ship and shoot back at Zhang Jiang and them on the dock. The captain of this British transport ship was stunned at this moment. This was not the first time he had brought a ship to Yangon Port, but he had never encountered such treatment! Zhang Jianghe's reaction was not slow. Seeing that his side had the advantage, he pulled an iron speaker and started shouting at the transport ship.
Thanks to the frequent contact with the British army in Myanmar these days, Zhang Jianghe's English is pretty good. The captain of the British transport ship, who was hiding in the cockpit and shivering, heard the shouts from outside the ship and realized that he had been deceived by these damn Indians. The captain, who was also not timid, immediately contacted the sailors on the ship and, with a few pistols, attacked the remaining Indians still on the ship from behind. The Indian, who was attacked from both sides, did not hold on for a few seconds before he dropped his pick and knelt on the deck.
Seeing that the situation was under control, Zhang Jiang stood up from behind the bunker and became very angry. He had never been as embarrassed as before! When he was protected by a group of guards and walked under the transport ship, he found that the big British nose coming down from above was actually an acquaintance of his. "Owen, what's going on?" The man Zhang Jianghe called Owen was the captain of the British transport ship. He couldn't help waving at Zhang Jianghe!
After Zhang Jianghe talked with Irving, he realized that Irving's transport ship was not here to cause trouble for him. Even Irving couldn't explain what those Indians were about. "Zhang, we are old friends, I won't lie to you! I was ordered to pick up these Indians from the Mediterranean, but I don't know their purpose. You saw it just now, if it weren't for us If you attack them from behind, the battle will never end so quickly.”
Owen's words made Zhang Jianghe alert, especially those Indians who were beaten to death on the dock, claiming to be escorts of the Burmese royal family. Zhang Jianghe naturally did not believe this, but there was no smoke without fire, and Zhang Jianghe felt that something was going on. Therefore, after calming down, Zhang Jianghe immediately sent a telegram to Tang Cheng, which caused Tang Cheng to rush back to Myanmar without stopping. When Tangcheng arrived at Yangon Port in the dust, the Bureau Chairman also came to Yangon from northern Myanmar, and he brought the latest news from the country.
However, at this moment, Tang Cheng had no time to pay attention to domestic affairs. He also suspected that the appearance of those Indians was more like a conspiracy. Before Tang Cheng came back, Zhang Jianghe had carefully interrogated the remaining Indians. Unfortunately, the leader among them had been beaten to death on the dock, and the remaining Indians were clueless. The so-called Burmese royal family being escorted by these Indians was just a little girl who looked small. Zhang Jianghe was not cruel enough to do anything to such a little girl.
