Tang Cheng has made his purpose very clear, but among the people in the conference room, there are still people who are quite confused about this matter. "Boss, most of our armed personnel are still in Thailand! Those in the training camp in northern Myanmar are just newcomers. They have never even seen blood. If they rashly send troops to India, we may not have enough troops!" This is the commander of the German Second Infantry Regiment, and his words are also very tactful.
Tang Cheng laughed when he heard this, "Lekoman, there are about 4,000 new recruits in the training camp in northern Myanmar. I am not planning to ask them to take the lead and serve as the vanguard. The real vanguard will be the heavily-armed troops after the training." , all armored vehicles and tanks will be used by them." After receiving Tang Cheng's gaze, Tang Mo, who had been sitting at the door of the conference room, stood up, reached out and opened the door of the conference room, and in the next second, from the conference room A bearded man walked in outside.
Although the bearded man was not tall in stature, the toughness he inadvertently revealed while walking made everyone in the conference room focus on him. "This is Fang Shengli. He originally served in the Chinese army, but was left behind due to injury. Later, he took his family and traveled south to northern Myanmar. Although he has not received formal training, he has an amazing talent for tank applications. .In a battle drill with an instructor, I defeated an encirclement of six tanks by just one tank and two armored vehicles."
"After half a year of special training, the instructor at the training camp said frankly that Fang Shengli is now qualified to command a heavy-armed force." Fang Shengli, who was introduced to everyone by Tang Cheng, seemed expressionless, but in fact he was looking around and observing. Everyone in the conference room. Even the bureau chief didn't know that this Fang Shengli was not a defeat of the national army, but a serious member of the Eighth Route Army. When Tangcheng asked Yan'an to send military personnel south to northern Myanmar, Fang Shengli became the first batch of personnel to go south.
Among all the people who went south from Yan'an, Fang Shengli was not the shortest, but he was the one who was interested in tanks. And Tang Cheng didn't lie just now. Fang Shengli did have an absolute talent for tank command. In the previous drills and confrontations, the side commanded by Fang Shengli won all the victories. Before planning this meeting, Tang Cheng had already approached Fang Shengli and confessed his next plan to him.
When the Zionist Army started a war in the Middle East, Tangcheng selected a group of pilots and ground crews from a training camp in northern Myanmar, and later took them to the artillery academy to undergo actual combat tests. Although these trainees who were transferred under the name of mercenaries all returned to northern Myanmar safely. However, this group of students who have been tested in actual combat, and Fang Shengli and others who were left in the training camp, are already incompatible with each other. After all, they have actually participated in actual combat.
From that moment on, Fang Shengli was holding a fire in his heart. Before he went south to northern Myanmar, he was a tiger general in the Eighth Route Army. If it weren't for the tanks and armored vehicles here in northern Myanmar, as well as endless ammunition for training, Fang Shengli might have asked to return to Yan'an. At this moment, Fang Shengli was overjoyed to learn that he also had the opportunity to participate in actual combat, especially when he learned that Tang Cheng had obtained the consent of Yan'an and could again use himself and other trainees.
It can be said that Fang Shengli is now more eager than anyone in the conference room to start implementing Tangcheng's external expansion plan immediately. Because only then will it be possible for him to truly command the tank in actual combat. After Fang Shengli sat down, Tang Cheng revealed part of the plan. In fact, Tang Cheng's plan was also very simple. The specific direction of attack has been determined to be the East Pakistan region of India bordering Myanmar. As long as they get the consent of the British government, the heavily armed troops secretly assembled in northwest Myanmar will cross the border as quickly as possible and carry out a split and advance into the East Pakistan region.
The heavy-armed troops commanded by Fang Shengli are actually just the so-called sharp knife troops. Behind him, there will be about 20,000 Burmese indigenous militiamen. These Burmese militiamen are the main force of the assault. Tangcheng will also deploy a German infantry regiment and 3,000 armed personnel from northern Burma, respectively on the wings and rear, to supervise the continued advance of these Burmese militiamen and gradually control the captured areas. "When I do things, I like to plan ahead. Although the British government has not yet agreed to my plan, we must prepare for some things in advance."
It is true that the British government has not yet agreed to Tangcheng's plan, but Thomas is still in London lobbying senior government officials and members of Congress. According to Thomas's point of view, Myanmar's sudden troop attack on the East Pakistan region must be launched at the right time. And the time point he believed was naturally when Mountbatten could not reach an agreement with the Indians. Once something happened in Badong, the Indians who were entangled with Mountbatten could only divert their attention to deal with the Burmese attacking troops, and Let the anxious Mountbatten go for the time being.
It is not unreasonable for Thomas's lobbying to gain support from some politicians. At the beginning of last year, in order to get rid of British control, the Indians staged a mutiny and uprising. Although the mutiny and uprising was finally brought under control, the Indians had made their attitude clear to the British government. If the British do not agree with India's independence, they will actually launch a military coup. Even if the British can still control the situation afterwards, it will not look good in the end.
Moreover, if a large amount of bloodshed occurs during the control process, the British government is also worried that this move will attract disease from other European countries, especially the United States, which they are worried about. In summary, many British politicians also believe that if they can instigate Myanmar to send troops to East Pakistan, it may be a good move. After all, Tang Cheng was the governor-general of Myanmar conferred by the Queen. Now he could do some small things for the British, which could be regarded as repaying the British royal family's support for him.
In order to avoid suspicion, Tangcheng did not send intelligence personnel to India. All information related to Mountbatten was obtained by Tangcheng through the British military channels. Fortunately, Tangcheng had a good relationship with the senior officials of the Burmese garrison. These business partners with good relations would send Mountbatten's movements to Tangcheng as soon as possible. Coupled with Thomas's support, the British troops stationed in India will also send some Indian movements to Tangcheng.
Tangcheng, who already knew what consequences Mountbatten would cause in India, did not just wait for London. The day after the meeting, Fang Shengli returned to northern Myanmar. With Tangcheng's orders, he began to assemble all modified armored vehicles and tanks, and began to plan an attack route while conducting adaptive training. Tangcheng is making active preparations, but Mountbatten is still arguing with the Indians. He currently neither discloses the British government's attitude nor agrees with the Indians' demands.
In this way, half a month passed quickly. Even Hans had returned to Myanmar with the gold exchanged, but there was still no movement from Mountbatten. Everyone who had been paying attention to the developments in India could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was not that they were not optimistic about Tangcheng's plan, but they were worried that Myanmar would become a victim of the British. At this time, Tang Cheng unexpectedly became quiet. Anyone who knew him knew that Tang Cheng must be holding back his ultimate move.
The bureau chief, who was getting more relaxed and fatter by the day, finally couldn't sit still and came to find Tang Cheng, only to see Tang Cheng, who had a leisurely look on his face, playing tennis with Zhou Hongzhuang and his two younger sisters. Seeing the game player appear, Tang Cheng handed the racket to Zhou Hongzhuang, and he and the game player sat under the umbrella and talked quietly. After learning the purpose of the meeting, Tang Cheng immediately chuckled, "There has been no news from London, and Mountbatten has been stalling for time. I have reliable news that the British seem to be disintegrating the Indians from within."
"The caste system in India is very strict, which has allowed the British to see it and destroy their hopes from within. However, I judge that the British may have miscalculated this time, because Indians have Gandhi." Tangcheng mentioned in the words When the name Gandhi was mentioned, the director's eyebrows twitched subconsciously. These days, the bureau chief has been collecting intelligence related to India. The bureau chief also knows something about this Indian named Gandhi. However, the Bureau still believes that matters in India ultimately depend on the attitude of the British government.
"The British certainly don't want to see India become independent. After all, India has been ruled by them for so long. Almost all the upper class people in India are influenced by British ideas. If India chooses to be independent, the British will still want low-cost living supplies in the future. Maybe it’s impossible. The British need to buy Indian tea, spices, meat, grain, etc. at market prices, and now the British have been resting on their laurels.”
With the support of large sums of money, Hans's former colleagues had already established a secret organization, infiltrating the UK and even the entire Europe like a sieve. Tangcheng may know more details about domestic affairs in the UK than Thomas does. The current situation in the UK is not very good. Mountbatten's current reaction has proven this. What the British have to do now is to delay time and wait for problems to arise within the Indians first.
It is a pity that the British do not know that it is 1947, which is the era when most small countries in the world are seeking independence. Tang Cheng is also waiting now. He is waiting for the news of the Philippines' declaration of independence. Philippine independence is a signal of the independence wave in South Asia. By then, small countries will choose to follow the Philippines' footsteps and declare their independence. By then, no matter how hard the British try, they may not be able to delay India's independence.
