After Tang Cheng had gone around and talked so much, the bureau leader now finally understood that what Tang Cheng meant was that the US military in the Pacific would secretly guard against Tang Cheng because he was also Chinese. Being on guard against Tangcheng means that the US military will not purchase daily necessities from Myanmar. Even if the Korean Peninsula is destroyed, Tangcheng will not be able to get a foothold in it. "But this is also a good thing. The Soviets will never allow the Americans to control the Korean Peninsula. If the situation cannot be controlled, there will be no good results if they get involved."
What Tangcheng is now considering is not how to use this opportunity to benefit itself and Myanmar, but whether to take advantage of this opportunity to merge Myanmar and Thailand. After the bureau chief learned of Tang Cheng's plan, he persuaded Tang Cheng not to act too hastily, "This matter needs to be treated with caution! The British royal family only conferred you the Governor of Myanmar, and it has nothing to do with Thailand! You also said before that the Americans are now There is no way to make time, otherwise they will definitely use Thailand to stir up trouble!”
"The British are naturally arrogant. They left Myanmar to you. I think it is because Myanmar is not worth much. But Thailand is different from Myanmar. If Myanmar and Thailand merge, not only will the territory become larger, but Thailand will also be controlled. , which means that they have control of the sea outlet across the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. Coupled with the horizontal railway you are building, do you think that even if the Americans have no time to talk to you, will the British miss the opportunity to take advantage?"
The analysis of the situation did not make Tang Cheng change his mind. After all, the British royal family and their aristocracy had already been taken care of by themselves. The profits generated from the combined oil and African mining industry alone are enough to keep the British royal family and the nobles well fed. They cannot afford to come to South Asia to compete with themselves for some petty profits. Moreover, I have already designated an industrial park in southern Thailand and contacted the nobles in London to invest in the industrial park.
And as far as Tangcheng knows, there is also a lot of commotion in India. The world structure has changed after the war, and there are also differences within India, which is like a backwater. The Indians feel that they should get rid of the control of the British. Comparing India and Myanmar, the British of course valued India more. Tang Cheng even felt that if he wanted to participate in the affairs of the Korean Peninsula, it would be better to wait for the opportunity and wait for the opportunity to take advantage when India became independent.
Tang Cheng's strange expression at this moment was seen by all the bureau members. Those who were worried that Tang Cheng was going to cause trouble immediately spoke out to remind him. "Xiao Wu, the affairs of the Korean Peninsula are too far away from us. You must not get involved blindly!" The bureau leader's voice woke up Tang Cheng from his reverie. After he made repeated guarantees, the bureau leader finally I feel relieved. However, the bureau chief also knew that there were people sent by Yan'an in northern Myanmar, so he avoided Tangcheng and quietly passed on the news of possible trouble on the Korean Peninsula to the people sent by Yan'an.
Unfortunately, the domestic situation has not yet completely stabilized. Yan'an Teco, who received the news, only passed the news of Syngman Rhee's return to the Korean Peninsula to the Kim family and his son, but did not remind them to be wary of the United States. At present, China is still in the stage of civil war, but the Soviet Union has already controlled half of Germany. Naturally, the Jin family and his son will embrace the Soviet Union first. Soon, the troops commanded by the Jin family and his son were gradually replaced with Soviet-style weapons, and they were ready for the war.
Far away in Tangcheng, Myanmar, he is not very interested in external affairs. He is about to leave for Thailand. The most important thing at the moment is to completely control Thailand. This time, he is ready to attack Thai politicians. In Thailand, which has lost its military and police systems, the politicians of the past have become more honest. Because they all know that without the support of force, it will be difficult for them to overturn the control of Tangcheng. The Americans, whom they had pinned their hopes on, died out after just one trial.
Compared with the stabilized south and north, central Thailand seems less peaceful. The entry of a large number of Burmese immigrants has made the locals in central Thailand increasingly angry. Conflicts occurred almost every day, but the German infantry regiments stationed here turned a blind eye to them. With the conflicting furniture, there will be a large number of casualties every day, but this place has long been tightly sealed, and no news can be transmitted. When Tang Cheng appeared in central Thailand, he happened to encounter a conflict. Looking at the conflict scene from a distance, a sneer appeared on Tang Cheng's lips.
It is obviously unrealistic to completely clean up the Thai people. What Tangcheng has to do now is just to clean up those disobedient people. Therefore, when he saw someone pushing out a cannon through the telescope, Tang Cheng ordered the army to intervene. The result of the conflict was naturally that each had a fifty-fifty advantage. Neither the Burmese immigrants nor the local Thais could take advantage of Tangcheng. Maybe there are Burmese people who have seen through Tang Cheng's intentions, but they have already entered the game and it will be difficult to get out.
A week later, vigorous construction began in central Thailand. Under the pressure of the army, a large number of Burmese immigrants and local Thais were mixed together and began to build roads and water conservancy facilities in central Thailand according to Tangcheng's plan. . The hydropower technology brought by the Germans quickly built large and small hydropower stations in central Thailand, which has abundant water, and also brought sufficient electricity to residents in central Thailand.
The emergence of electricity has made the lives of residents in central Thailand visibly more convenient. The local Thais who were originally hostile to Tangcheng have finally become honest. In particular, Tangcheng has also announced a series of welfare benefits for farmers. First, education and medical care are free. Second, farmers will only pay low agricultural taxes in the future, and they can even directly use crops to offset agricultural taxes. The welfare benefits announced by Tangcheng soon spread throughout Thailand, and those Burmese natives who were still waiting to see what happened began to apply to immigrate to Thailand in batches.
"Xiaowu, do you really want to give them free education and medical care? That will cost a lot of money! If things go wrong, there will be mass trouble!" The bureau leader who learned the news hurried to Tangcheng from northern Myanmar I want to persuade Tangcheng to modify the welfare benefits for Thai farmers. The Bureau believes that since the agricultural taxes and fees borne by farmers have been reduced, other benefits they should enjoy should not be free. After all, the cost of national infrastructure construction comes from taxes and fees.
Faced with the persuasion from the bureau chief, Tang Cheng chuckled disapprovingly, "Do you know why the Ming Dynasty perished? Even if the Qing army did not enter the pass, the Ming Dynasty itself would rot from the inside! The Ming Dynasty itself would have rotted away from the inside! The official and gentry class did not pay grain or taxes, and all taxes and fees were borne by the farmers! However, due to collusion between officials and businessmen and loopholes in the land system at that time, farmers had no land to farm, but they had to bear more and more taxes and fees. So what if I don’t become a rebel!”
"The same is true in Thailand now. I have brought so many Burmese immigrants here, and the space for Thai locals has been further suppressed. If they are not given some benefits and strong policies, Thailand will probably become a battlefield, no matter it is Both Burmese immigrants and Thai locals are trapped in this quagmire of war and cannot escape. I did not occupy this place to cultivate a war machine. I want this place to develop according to my plan."
In the plan formulated by Tangcheng, Thailand has already been designed to be a purely agricultural country. After the world structure stabilizes, he will build a series of light industries in Thailand and become the fundamental industry to stabilize Thailand's development. But now, when the world structure is still in chaos, he dare not make changes early that would attract the attention of external forces. Just when China was full of confidence, Thomas sent a telegram from London, claiming that London had decided to appoint Mountbatten as the new Governor-General of India.
Thomas's telegram did not prevent Tang Cheng from continuing to implement his new plan in Thailand, but he left the affairs in Thailand to the bureau, and he immediately returned to Yangon. The British troops stationed in Burma, who had originally extended their stay due to Tang Cheng's request, had packed their luggage and were preparing to rush to India. "Tang, I believe you should also have received the news. Mountbatten was appointed by Downing Street as the new Governor-General of India. But what happened in India last year made Downing Street very worried. We must go to India to provide protection for Mountbatten."
Although the top brass of the British army said they were loyal to Britain, in reality, they were not willing to go to India at all. They stay in Myanmar and enjoy good food and drink, doing nothing all day but receiving full salary. It is like living a vacation-like life. The uprising in India early last year shocked the entire UK. Although the uprising was successfully suppressed, more Indians seemed to see an opportunity to get rid of British rule. Although the British government claims to support peace, in reality, they are not willing to lose India, an important overseas colony.
Sudden changes made Tangcheng suddenly realize that he had neglected the independence wave in 1947. Indian independence was not the starting point of this independence wave, but it was the most noisy. Mountbatten, the last Indian governor-general who seemed easy to talk to, actually dug a big hole for the Indians. The famous Mountbatten plan divided Pakistan and as many as 562 princely states directly from the Indian territory.
According to Mountbatten's plan, the divided Pakistan will be an independent country in the future, and the 562 princely states can choose to join India or Pakistan. However, in terms of political rights, these princely states have independence. . This means that Britain, the troublemaker, has been secretly planning since last year's uprising. Since India wants to get rid of British control, then Britain simply destroys India and turns it into a piece of chicken feathers.
