Australia is a Commonwealth country. In the war that just ended, the Japanese army invaded their homeland. Although the Japanese army finally raised their flag and surrendered, and the Australian army also killed many Japanese troops who invaded them, Australia's losses were also considerable. Because Australia has adopted a military recruitment system in response to this war, many domestic skilled workers and middle-class people have gone to the battlefield. Now is the time when Australia's vitality is seriously damaged.

As long as he could make money, Thomas immediately became energetic. Seeing that Tang Cheng's position this time was in Australia, Thomas's expression immediately showed a touch of relief. Seeing Thomas's expression, Tang Cheng, who had been observing him closely, immediately felt relieved because he knew that the matter was settled. Sure enough, when Thomas spoke again, he directly took over the matter. However, when it came to the division of shares, Thomas stubbornly believed that the British royal family should occupy the majority, while Tangcheng only received 10%.

"Ten percent is not impossible, but let's agree first. No matter whether anyone else joins me or not, my 10% share can never be diluted." Seeing Thomas insisting on his refusal, Let go, Tang Cheng could only agree with a face full of impatience, but he also had his own insistence, that is, no matter what, his shares can never be diluted. Thomas had not yet realized how far this Australian-based mining company would grow in the future, so he nodded happily and agreed.

Thomas thought he had plotted against Tangcheng, but he didn't know that Tangcheng would transport a large amount of high-quality iron ore from Australia at the lowest price every year, and then transfer it to China. The 1950s and 1960s were also the most difficult years in China. It was precisely because of the large amount of high-quality iron ore imported from Tangcheng at low prices that the country tenaciously completed the domestic industrial deployment and infrastructure construction. By the time Britain and the United States reacted, China had completed mid- to low-end industrial construction, and its industrial base had covered the entire industrial system.

After cheating Thomas away, Tang Cheng informed Zhang Jiang and the bureau chief of the news Thomas had brought. Knowing that the appearance of those Indians was just a little trick played by a certain British noble out of boredom, Zhang Jiang and one of them couldn't help but cursed. "Uncle Zhang, forget it, why are we so weak now! They still think highly of us, and at least they sent someone over to explain to us. If it were an American, I'm afraid there wouldn't even be an explanation. We have to give it a try."

Thanks to his early experiences, Zhang Jianghe did not have much fondness for foreigners. He now feels that Germans are quite pragmatic. As for the British and Americans, Zhang Jianghe is not interested in them. The bureau is quite dignified, and what he is concerned about is not the attitude of the British royal family towards this matter. He just wants to know the latest trends on the US military side in the Pacific. "You are right to be wary of the Americans. Some time ago, I sent someone to secretly contact the Nanjing headquarters. The Americans are secretly supporting the man in the presidential palace to compete with the Eighth Route Army for control outside the customs."

Tang Cheng grinned when he heard this, "I have guessed what you are talking about a long time ago! After the Japanese surrender, with the Americans publicizing it everywhere, the outside world, including the Japanese themselves, felt that they They lost to the Americans. But none of them imagined that if the civil war hadn't restrained most of the Japanese army, even if the Americans dropped two more big bombs, they would have paid more than the battle of Okinawa when they landed on the Japanese mainland. There will also be tragic losses.”

"If Japan is really forced into a state of all-people warfare, the US military in the Pacific will only be able to control a few offshore areas at most, but it is absolutely impossible for them to control the entire Japan. Moreover, the Japanese still have a strategy to attack Australia. As long as If they take away their troops on the domestic battlefield and use the peace talks as a bargaining chip to induce a ceasefire on our side, the Japanese can attack all the way until they take over the entire Australia. According to Australia's geographical location, the US Navy wants to deal with the Japanese army there. The toil and exhaustion are enough for Americans to protest until their president voluntarily steps down."

"And the most important thing is that most of the Japanese army's main force and elite veterans have been consumed by us. If the US military in the Pacific encountered the Japanese army in 1937, MacArthur might have become a prisoner of the Japanese army. I have said it long ago However, the Americans are the ones who least want to see Asia settle down. This war has allowed their domestic military-industrial complex to see a way to maximize their interests. That is to constantly provoke disputes and conflicts between regions, and then they take the opportunity to expand their influence. We will use our strength to sell weapons to both sides."

From the moment the Qing government fell, the country entered the era of warlord separatism, but among those warlords, there was no shortage of heroes who wanted to unify the country. But what happened? Those heroes have all been buried, and the people behind these warlords are almost all foreign forces. In other words, when these foreign forces discovered that opium could not destroy China, they hoped to see China divided, because only in this way was it in their interests.

What the Americans are doing is to secretly support Nanjing, because they find that the ideas adhered to by Yan'an are seriously inconsistent with their views of interests. "Anyway, we are not in the country now. They support theirs, and we develop ours. As long as we can implement our plan smoothly, even if the outside world is in chaos, it has nothing to do with us. Americans are willing to praise that. If you are in a bad position, you won’t have any extra energy to pay attention to us, what a great opportunity.”

Starting last month, the role of the Bureau began to show up. He secretly contacted his confidants in the military and took advantage of the opportunity of the war in the Northeast to recruit many people who wanted to flee the war zone. At present, in the northern Myanmar region, the number of Chinese moving south from outside the customs has rapidly increased to more than 200,000, and this number is still growing. The border connecting Myanmar and Yunnan has not been idle this month. There are still a large number of Chinese going south crossing the border into Myanmar.

Moreover, after Tangcheng took control of Thailand, many people in Guangxi who were unhappy were also attracted. Tangcheng originally planned that by the time the civil war ends, it would be good if the number of Chinese in Myanmar could increase to two million. However, the data brought by the Bureau just now show that this month alone, more than 400,000 Chinese have entered Myanmar. Counting the Chinese who entered northern Myanmar more than a year ago, the number of Chinese in Myanmar under Tangcheng's rule has actually exceeded 1.3 million.

There are 1.3 million Chinese, plus the hundreds of thousands of Germans brought by Hans from Europe. The population in Myanmar that can 100% obey the management of Tangcheng already accounts for 10% of the actual population of Myanmar. On the surface, Tangcheng does not have many advantages, but among the more than 10 million local people in Myanmar, the literacy rate is less than 5% of a thousand, and the number of locals who can truly be regarded as literate is less than 1% , or even smaller. But among the Chinese and Germans managed by Tangcheng, the literacy rate exceeds 50%. Hundreds of thousands of subordinates who can speak and write are enough to help Tangcheng manage Myanmar and Thailand.

Tangcheng, who still retains the memory of future generations, knows that it will take at least more than a year before the domestic war ends. As long as the remaining time can be made good use of, Tangcheng can guarantee that the number of Chinese in Myanmar can increase again. A population of several million people. As long as these Chinese are given twenty years to recuperate, Myanmar will be dominated by Chinese in the future. In order to achieve this goal, Tangcheng personally feels that the plan to transfer the Burmese indigenous people to Thailand must be implemented.

Compared with Myanmar, Thailand has a lot of fields, and the terrain and traffic conditions are much better than those in Myanmar. The most important thing is that after these Burmese natives go to Thailand, they don't have to worry about being under pressure from the Chinese, and the most important thing is that they can beat the Thais. Being able to beat the Thais means that they can get more opportunities and fields. Compatriots who have immigrated to Thailand before have confirmed this. It has to be said that Tangcheng's immigration plan for the Burmese indigenous people is indeed beneficial to the Burmese people overall.

But if you think about this immigration plan carefully, it is not difficult to find that Tangcheng is secretly instigating a fight between the Burmese and Thai people. Almost every Burmese family participating in the immigration program can receive a Japanese bolt-action rifle and 100 rounds of ammunition for free when crossing the border. This old-fashioned bolt-action rifle, when Tang Cheng and Hans came back from Japan, they brought back several ships in one go. At that time, Hans also said that Tang Cheng had money and no place to spend it. Now that he has carefully calculated it, it seems that Tang Cheng will benefit in the end.

Most of the guns hidden by Thai people are also old-fashioned bolt-action rifles, but they cannot, like the Burmese, buy ammunition at low prices from border armed forces as long as they return to the border. As the conflict in central Thailand intensifies, border armed forces have even begun to provide pistols and grenades to Myanmar immigrants. With pistols and grenades, Myanmar women can also become fighters participating in the conflict. Of course, these plans in Tangcheng are not aimed at those Thais who keep their peace.

It started when the German infantry regiment stationed in Tangcheng entered Thailand, and when he learned that Tang Hu's young army had swept across northern Thailand. Tangcheng secretly ordered the German infantry regiment to move those Thais who were safe, able to accept Chinese, and even able to speak simple Chinese to northern Thailand. For this part of the Thai people, Tangcheng not only gave them more fields, but also proactively provided small agricultural machinery and promised to reduce their agricultural taxes and fees.
