The idea of uniting the Thomas family to form an arms company was a decision made by Tangcheng after careful consideration! The changes and processes in the domestic situation are still the same as the memories of later generations in Tangcheng. Although he has done a lot to help the country, he still cannot reverse the historical process. Therefore, Tangcheng's target, the Western forces led by the United States, will still block and suppress the country. Tangcheng must find a way to break the situation.
Tangcheng pulled Thomas into the game, on the one hand, to find Britain as a backer and avoid becoming a target of the Americans. Secondly, in order to better fish in troubled waters, the domestic military industry foundation is weak. If you can run an arms company, you can also help a lot secretly. At the worst, you can also promptly report the advanced weapons and equipment of various countries in the world to the country. What’s more, the arms business is really profitable. Since Americans can sell arms all over the world, why can’t they themselves!
Thomas knew very well whether the arms business could make money, but he was not a newbie who didn't know anything. After thinking about it for a while, Thomas took the initiative and suggested that it would be best to involve the British royal family. Thomas's proposal is exactly what Tang Cheng wants. If the British royal family can join in, Tang Cheng will be less troubled. "At present, the conflict in the Middle East has stopped, but according to my judgment, this truce may only be temporary!"
"My informant in the United States said that the Americans are planning to win over the Arabs in the Gulf region. According to the Americans' plan, it is impossible for them to win over all the Arabs, but their plan is enough to make the Gulf region The Arabs had conflicts and let them fight on their own." Thomas was also a smart man, and Tang Cheng's words made him react immediately. But Tangcheng didn't give him a chance to speak at all, so he told him about the fact that the Zionist Army contacted him two days ago.
"I have made it clear long ago that I hate war, so I will not comment on what is happening in the Middle East, nor will I come out to support any side! People from the Zionist Army came to me to ask me to continue to provide them with Logistical support, by the way, hire a transport ship under my name to continue transporting arms and supplies to the Middle East for them. If it is just food trading and hiring ships, I can’t say much. After all, these are just businesses. But they want to take advantage of me Here, to buy explosives, I’m a little confused, why don’t they ask the US military in the Pacific to buy explosives?”
"Later, after I found someone to investigate, I finally found out the whole story. The fact that the Zionist Army came to me to buy explosives was actually done secretly by the Americans. I have been thinking about this for the past two days, but I thought about it. I didn't expect that I had offended the Americans in any way." Tang Cheng, who was secretly observing Thomas's reaction, deliberately looked sulky at this moment. When Thomas heard this, he laughed in his heart, thinking that the reason why the Americans want to deal with you is not because of the horizontal railway you built in southern Thailand.
The horizontal railway planned in Tangcheng was put into use two months ago after nearly a year of hard work. Once this horizontal railway connecting two large ports was put into operation, it immediately attracted a lot of attention. Designed to carry standard containers, this railway can quickly shorten the distance and time between the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea. Moreover, the putting into use of this horizontal railway means that the role of the Malacca Strait has become less important.
Bureau Zuo and others who were originally skeptical about this horizontal railway are now urging Tangcheng every day to seize the time to build a double-track railway so that this horizontal railway can play a greater role. The Americans want to use the Zionist Army to draw Tangcheng into the Middle East war. They want to dig a hole for Tangcheng first, and then find an opportunity to renovate Tangcheng and take the opportunity to gain control of the horizontal railway. Thomas didn't know that Tang Cheng had been guarding against the Americans for a long time, and he was still thinking about whether to take advantage of Tang Cheng.
After some thought, Thomas finally gave up the idea of taking advantage of Tang City, and immediately sent a telegram to London to report to the British royal family that Tang City was preparing to form an arms company. The British royal family, which was almost ruined, was now very concerned about making money. After receiving the telegram, they immediately sent people to Myanmar. Like the African Mining Company, in the newly formed arms company, the Tangcheng and Thomas families each held 30% of the shares, and the remaining 40% of the shares were given to the British royal family.
In return for their efforts in Tangcheng, the British royal family quickly announced that they had invited the southern Xinjiang royal family to London as a guest. This external propaganda of the British royal family is another form of external recognition of the existence of the southern Xinjiang royal family. When the new Queen Tang Juan took her family to London for vacation, a batch of military equipment was quietly shipped to Myanmar. The newly formed arms company will provide the Zionist Army with ammunition needed for combat. The new arsenal is built in northern Thailand, in a secret and safe location.
At the same time, the domestic situation became increasingly clear. A large number of People's Liberation Army troops moved south, forcing more national army troops to begin to collapse. The collapse of the national army means that they are desperate and will most likely go south into Myanmar or Thailand. After taking care of Thomas, Tangcheng returned to the border line, waiting for a large number of lone troops to move south. The man who had hid on the island was not willing to accept the reality. He was still thinking about counterattack, but unfortunately the army he left behind was not strong enough.
For a week, Tangcheng has been receiving the defeated troops of the national army who had fled south. The number of troops has gradually increased from a few thousand at the beginning to over 10,000 every day. Tangcheng treated them in the same way as before. For those national troops who wanted to go to the island, Tangcheng gave them travel expenses and let them leave. Tangcheng will screen those national troops who do not want to live alone overseas and hide on a small island. Those who are willing to continue serving as soldiers will stay in Myanmar for training. Those who do not want to continue serving as soldiers can apply for Burmese household registration and become an ordinary person.
By the time the forward troops of the People's Liberation Army appeared on the border, Tangcheng had already received more than 110,000 defeated national troops from all walks of life, including many bandits. Two days later, Xu Huanshan, who was tired of travel, rushed to Wanding, and he brought Peiping's attitude. "Since you have been able to ensure the safety of the journey north, you can send away the sealed mechanical equipment! But I have a condition. The defeated troops of the national army that I received must not be returned to you."
"Moreover, many of them have families. I left them in Myanmar. I can't see them separated from their families forever! I have asked them to register their family status as your payment for the machinery and equipment. As a reward, please help and send the family members of those defeated soldiers according to the registration list!" Tangcheng's calculation was very clear. If the country is newly built, there must not be much money in his pocket. If you ask them for it, Money, Beiping still doesn’t know what to do with it.
But if I give away so much mechanical equipment for nothing, it seems that I will be treated as a victim! Instead of doing this, it is better to change the request! The newly accepted 110,000 nationalist troops have family members in China. If their families can be brought to Myanmar, it will be equivalent to hundreds of thousands more Chinese people in Myanmar. Xu Huanshan undoubtedly couldn't refuse Tang Cheng's suggestion, because he knew the value of those mechanical equipment, and the country simply couldn't give that much money to Tang Cheng.
That night, a reply came from Peiping and they agreed to Tangcheng's request. Tangcheng couldn't help but feel overjoyed. With these family members of the defeated National Army, I believe there will only be more defeated National Army soldiers who are willing to stay in Myanmar. In the next month, family members of these defeated soldiers were sent from China one after another. Most of the machinery and equipment that Tangcheng had previously stored in northern Myanmar were quickly transported away. Peiping adopted Tangcheng's suggestion that the machinery and equipment leaving northern Myanmar would be sent all the way north to the northeast.
The country is currently full of waste, and the Northeast has a slightly better industrial foundation. I believe that with these advanced machinery and equipment, the Northeast will soon become the country's industrial base. The country couldn't really get these mechanical equipment for nothing, so Peiping agreed to all the cooperation proposals Tangcheng put forward through Xu Huanshan. According to Tangcheng's suggestions, Yunnan will soon establish several tobacco planting bases, and all tobacco leaves produced will first be supplied to the Myanmar Cigarette Company.
Guangxi, which has a better location and climate, will also vigorously develop sugarcane cultivation. It will also become the raw material supplier for the large sugar factory in southern Thailand. Xu Huanshan also reported a proposal for artificial rubber planting. Tangcheng's suggestion was to carry out large-scale rubber planting in Xishuangbanna. Peiping was very interested in these suggestions from Tangcheng. They discussed them in the shortest possible time, and everyone who was not satisfied in the end responded.
Tang Cheng was excited to receive the goodwill from the top management in Peiping, but there were some things that he couldn't even say to Xu Huanshan, and the time was not right now. All the sealed machinery and equipment were quickly sent across the border day and night. Tangcheng, who was fine and light, could finally breathe a sigh of relief, because there was one less flaw that the Americans could target. As for the technical information translated by the professors at Southwest University, Tang Cheng did not give it to Xu Huanshan, because the value of these materials made Tang Cheng have to be 100% careful.
As July approached, all the machinery and equipment had been sent across the border. Only then did Tang Cheng meet Xu Huanshan again and take him to see where the materials were stored. "Here are all kinds of technical materials that I got back from Japan. Professors and students from Southwest University have been translating and sorting them. I only got the specific data three days ago. All the technical materials here are added together. , a total of four hundred and thirty tons."
