Of course, such a large project cannot be completed in a short time just by relying on explosives and a small amount of construction machinery. Therefore, Tangcheng also purchased many tanks that were about to be retired by the British army through Thomas. He converted some of the tanks into bulldozers, and the remaining tanks were transported directly to the road construction site. In some areas where explosives were needed for blasting, Tangcheng simply used tanks to fire artillery shells to bombard hillsides or cliffs. The benefits of this are obvious. While breaking obstacles, it also trains the tank gunners' operational proficiency.
At the same time, a large number of small agricultural machinery produced in northern Myanmar are also continuously transported to the Dongba region. All areas suitable for planting in the Dongba region will be cultivated with crops in the shortest possible time. Fang Shengli and others stationed on the spot have now transformed into farming troops. Whether they are Chinese or Germans, they have now transformed into farmers demanding returns from the land. The Myanmar militiamen who were subsequently transferred to the East Pakistan area were deployed in the confrontation area with the Indian army, and several small-scale conflicts occurred almost every day.
The reason why these Burmese militiamen dared to clash with the Indian army was all because of Fang Shengli's instigation. In particular, Tangcheng had issued a secret order long ago, and all trophies obtained privately belonged to them. Driven by interests, these originally arrogant and ignorant Burmese natives often cross the blockade in small groups and enter areas controlled by the Indian army to cause trouble. Similarly, as a means of retaliation and countermeasures, the Indian army on the opposite side will sneak over and teach these Myanmar militiamen some lessons.
Such a large piece of land was given to Myanmar in vain. How could the Indian National Congress swallow this bad breath? They also hope to regain the East Pakistan area through the British government. It's a pity that they underestimated the shamelessness of the British government, and they even forgot that just a month ago, they were in trouble with the British over the issue of independence. If it were not for the pressure from the Soviet Union and the United States, the British government might have started fighting with India, because they also did not want to lose India as an overseas colony.
Fortunately, Tangcheng is so powerful that it has torn off a piece of fat meat from India. What the British are doing now is to harm others and not benefit themselves. As long as India loses Pakistan and then loses the East Pakistan region, the politicians in Downing Street will I feel like they didn't lose. Especially when they learned that Tangcheng also planned to turn the Dongba area into an agricultural area, they felt that supporting Tangcheng in taking over Dongba was definitely a wise decision. Of the three areas currently controlled by Tangcheng, only northern Myanmar and northern Thailand have a small amount of light industry, while the rest are dominated by agriculture.
Such an arrangement in Tangcheng made the politicians in Downing Street feel that Tangcheng, which inherited the feudal ideas of its ancestors, seemed to be more willing to focus on developing agriculture rather than ambitiously causing trouble. What's more, according to investigations by the British intelligence agency, there is no large-scale military organization in Tangcheng. The largest Myanmar militia at present is actually a group of local indigenous people in Myanmar. Tangcheng recruited these Burmese natives to form a militia force, but in fact they only used them as laborers. When the war actually started, these Burmese natives were completely unreliable.
The so-called German infantry regiments deployed by Tangcheng in Thailand function more like armed police, because they have only one mission, which is to stabilize Thailand's civil strife. Strictly speaking, the real combat effectiveness of Tangcheng's men is less than 10,000 northern Burmese armed forces, which are the so-called heavy-armed troops that attacked the Dongba area before. In addition, there is a youth army with a number of nearly 5,000. The youth army is commanded by Tang Cheng's second brother. All the youth troops are war orphans, and they are all under the age of 20.
Tang Cheng once again cooperated with the royal family and took the initiative to hand over the mercenary unit. This further confirmed that Tang Cheng had no intention to expand its own military strength, otherwise he would never have used the mercenary unit, which was all retired European veterans. , sent to the African continent in vain. According to the analysis of the British intelligence agency, the combat effectiveness of this mercenary force, which is composed entirely of European veterans, cannot be underestimated. If Tangcheng could use this mercenary force as the backbone to expand regardless of the cost, he would be able to obtain an elite ground force of more than 50,000 people in a short period of time.
All in all, Downing Street now has a good impression of Chinatown. They believe that Chinatown is not the unstable factor that Americans call it. If necessary, perhaps Downing Street only needs to deploy two division-level troops to conquer all the territory in Tangcheng. The arrogance of the British seems to be innate to them and has already been deeply rooted in their bones. That's why they feel that Tangcheng is not even their opponent. In their eyes, Tangcheng is just a local king in a small place.
Tang Cheng doesn't know what the politicians in Downing Street think of him. Even if he knows, he may just shake his head and smile. He may even feel that he is regarded by the politicians in Downing Street as a little king, which may be more in line with him. Plans to be implemented next. When Myanmar declared independence, the outside world had different opinions on the matter. When they learned that Myanmar had a Chinese Queen of Southern Xinjiang, especially the overseas Chinese community, they exploded in an instant.
Chinese have always been the target of exclusion overseas. Maybe things are a little better in South Asia, but it is definitely not easy for a Chinese to gain a foothold in South Asia. But now, not only has a Chinese become the governor-general of Myanmar and declared Myanmar independent, but there is also a Chinese queen. This is undoubtedly explosive news. After Myanmar announced the incident of the Queen of Southern Xinjiang, the British royal family was the first to react. The Queen even sent a congratulatory message to express the attitude of the British royal family.
This was followed by a congratulatory message from the Queen of the Netherlands and clear statements from other European royal families. These voices from Europe also caused a new wave of Chinese immigrants in South Asia to immigrate to Myanmar or Thailand. There were also many people from China who simply brought their families and moved south to northern Myanmar. After a simple adaptation, these people decided to settle down in northern Myanmar. After all, there is no war here, there is no need to pay taxes and fees, and there are still a lot of fields waiting for them to cultivate.
With the emergence of a new wave of immigrants, the number of Chinese in Myanmar has grown rapidly. According to statistics from Zhang Jianghe, the number of Chinese in Myanmar has now exceeded 2.6 million. Although the number of Chinese in Myanmar does not yet have an overwhelming advantage, as a large number of Myanmar militiamen were transferred to the East Pakistan area and the recruitment of local labor began, the number of indigenous people in Myanmar and other places is also rapidly decreasing, and Those who have been reduced are still young and strong among the indigenous people of Myanmar.
Intermarriage between China and Burma is another initiative of Tangcheng. Burmese men are dark and thin, but there are many beautiful Burmese women. Among the Chinese who went south to Burma to seek life, most of the men were single. Tangcheng secretly arranged for people to encourage these Chinese bachelors to marry good-looking Burmese women. With the combination of Chinese and Burmese intermarriage and Tangcheng's plan to recruit young people from Myanmar, Tangcheng believed that it would only take two generations for the number of Chinese in Myanmar to dominate.
Tang Cheng's secret arrangements were not mentioned to anyone else. Currently, only the bureau chief noticed something strange. However, he did not stop Tang Cheng, but secretly helped a lot. The bureau chief, who controlled a large sum of money, and the intelligence personnel from the military unification station in Myanmar, quickly launched an intelligence network in South Asia. After the domestic chaos began, many former members of the bureau took advantage of various opportunities and excuses to escape and go south. These people have now become the able generals of the bureau.
Tangcheng also handed over all the assassins lurking in Japan to the bureau. In this way, the troubles in South Asia could hardly be hidden from the bureau's ears. Like the bureau, Hans also deployed intelligence personnel across Europe. They not only had to collect various intelligence, but also paid attention to the emerging technological achievements of European countries. The translators who translate foreign language materials for Tangcheng have increased their manpower several times in succession, but they still cannot keep up with the speed of Hans carrying books and materials back.
Now Hans is very happy in Europe. Not only is he generous with his money, he also never does anything that violates local regulations. But no one knew that Hans had placed a large number of people within them. Although these secret agents did not hold high positions, they were all in key departments of the local government. Hans also relied on the local gangs to provide these undercover men with promotion opportunities and merit. What Hans has to do now is to follow the steps step by step. As long as the time is right, these hidden elements will be able to form a big net after they gain momentum.
Things seemed to be moving in the direction Tangcheng expected. Compared to Thailand, the Dongba area quickly got used to the current life. The Dongba people did not expect that the Myanmar army's missiles did not oppress them like the Indian army did, but also provided them with necessary help free of charge. The construction of a large amount of infrastructure not only gave them an opportunity to earn extra money in their spare time, but the roads and water conservancy facilities built under the leadership of the Burmese army also made their daily lives easier. Compared with the previous Indian army, people in the East Pakistan area seem to be more willing to contact the current Burmese army.
It was only now that Fang Shengli finally understood the purpose of the previous arrangements in Tangcheng. With the transfer of a large number of Myanmar militia troops, the heavy-armed troops commanded by Fang Shengli have shifted to improving their integration with the local people. According to Tangcheng's instructions, Fang Shengli and the others did not continue to expand outwards. Instead, they defended the existing control area, ignored the provocation of the Indian army, and concentrated on farming in the Dongba area. Tang Cheng knew that the Indians would definitely find a way to take back the Dongba area, but he was already prepared.
