Chapter Seventy-One: Hidden Feelings
Under the guidance of the pilot ship, the Poseidon slowly docked, and Guderian did not approach the Poseidon berth with his guards, but had dispersed long before the Poseidon docked, tightly controlling a berth more than 100 meters long. The guards of the Golden Shield were wearing ordinary American combat uniforms, but they had an extra red armband on their right arm, which made Zhuo Fei, who was standing on the side of the ship, see Guderian and them at a glance.
"Boss, welcome to Myanmar." Zhuo Fei took Zhuo Yan down from the side of the ship, Guderian quickly greeted him, and after leaving Germany, Guderian had not seen Zhuo Fei for several months. Zhuo Fei ignored Guderian's outstretched right hand to him, and instead opened his arms and hugged Guderian tightly, the latter first stiffened his body, and then he smiled and also reached out to pat Zhuo Fei's back.
"Thank you for your hard work, I know that the conditions here in Myanmar are not very good." Although the team of guards brought by Guderian to the dock looked full of energy, Zhuo Fei had already heard the captain of the Poseidon talk about the various troubles they had encountered in Yangon, and Zhuo Fei had always admired these hard-working guards. Guderian came to the dock, and naturally Steven couldn't be missing, but Steven was still dealing with some trivial matters in the cargo area at the moment, and he didn't appear in front of Zhuo Fei for the first time.
Leaving the port in the jeep driven by Guderian, Yangon's first impression on Zhuo Fei was not very good, dirty and messy is almost synonymous here, especially the Burmese civilians he saw along the way, which made Zhuo Fei even more eye-catching, because the Burmese locals he saw were too poor. The Burmese people Zhuo Fei met along the way, both men and women, few of them wore shoes, and they were small in size, which looked like the result of long-term malnutrition.
Xu saw what Zhuo Fei was thinking at the moment, and Guderian smiled, "Boss, don't be fooled by their appearance, the size of the Burmese is like this." When we first opened, we thought about the same thing as you, but when a dozen or so Jewish boys went out to buy something, they clashed with the locals, and a dozen young men were beaten by four or five Burmese. If we hadn't shown up in time, maybe the dozen or so Jewish boys would have been chopped into pieces by the Burmese, who play with knives for both men and women. ”
Guderian's words made Zhuo Fei laugh, and from Guderian's words, it could be heard that even the armed guards of the Golden Shield might have suffered the secret losses of the locals, otherwise Guderian would not have been so sick to the locals. "It's good to be able to fight, this is very good for our follow-up plan, how did the things I told you before go?" Zhuo Fei made a few jokes about Guderian, and then the conversation changed, and his expression also became serious.
Zhuo Fei straightened his face, and Guderian, who personally drove for Zhuo Fei, immediately followed suit, and replied to Zhuo Fei, "According to your plan, after we set up a trading house in Yangon, we have successively supported some local forces. At present, there are three local forces that we can control, one of which is an underground organization called the Burmese Revival Society, which has been completely controlled by us, and the nails we arranged have successfully entered the upper echelons of this organization. According to the plan, we also need a descendant of the Burmese royal family as a front puppet, which Steven is currently urging to do. ”
Guderian's answer caused Zhuo Fei to fall into deep thought, and in his whole plan, Burma was not originally included. Inclusion of Burma in his overall plan was proposed by Steven and Vivien when they were in the United States, and Steven volunteered to come to Yangon to be the executor of the plan. In just a few months, Steven was able to support and control three underground forces in Yangon, and fully control the so-called Burmese Revival Society, which gave Zhuo Fei a new understanding of Steven's execution ability.
Myanmar has a royal family in history, but after the third Anglo-Burmese war in 1885, the last emperor of the Burmese Gongbang Dynasty, Xipao, was exiled to India by the powerful British army, and until his death, the last emperor of Myanmar did not return to his homeland again. If you want to really control Burma, it will not work like the British or the Japanese, but it is most appropriate to use the name of the Burmese royal family, and Steven has learned that there are so-called Burmese royalty living in Burma.
When the Japanese occupied Manchuria, it was in the name of helping Pu Yi restore, and since the Japanese could use such a bad excuse, Zhuo Fei thought that he could also use this trick. When the British were beaten by the Japanese army and fled, and when the British mainland was attacked by the German army, Zhuo Fei thought that if at this time, a member of the Burmese royal family raised the banner of restoration, and the British, who were already exhausted, would definitely not waste their vitality on small Burma.
Supporting the puppet to control the whole territory of Burma, this is the advice that Steven and Vivian gave to Zhuo Fei, after integrating his entire plan, Zhuo Fei also thinks that in his whole plan, he really needs a suitable outlet to the sea, after all, he still needs some small help from Europe. While Zhuo Fei was still pondering, the convoy had slowly driven into the backyard of the trading house, and Steven, who had already rushed back to the trading house, strode forward and opened the door for Zhuo Fei.
"Boss, welcome to Myanmar." Different from Guderian's caution, Steven directly opened his arms and gave Zhuo Fei a big hug, if it was just about age, Steven, who was already past the age and was not confused, was indeed able to become Zhuo Fei's elder. Seeing Steven again made Zhuo Fei's mood instantly better, and the things he was thinking about in the jeep before had already been forgotten by Zhuo Fei at this moment.
"Is the boss going to stay in Yangon for a while, or will he go straight to the Jewish camp?" At the dinner table, Steven directly asked Zhuo Fei a question that he had no way to answer yet. This has just arrived in Myanmar, and if Zhuo Fei had followed his previous habits, he would have stayed in Yangon for a few days. However, the Jewish affairs have always troubled Zhuo Fei, and at the critical moment when his plan has been gradually unfolded, the resettlement of the Jews is particularly important.
Xu saw Zhuo Fei's embarrassment, Steven said with a smile, "The comptoir will have a batch of materials to be sent to the border soon, why don't you go to the border with this batch of supplies, Miss Angela has received a telegram from me, she also means the same, I want to ask the boss to rush to the Jewish camp immediately." Steven's intentional explanation made Zhuo Fei stop the movements in his hand, from Steven's words just now, Zhuo Fei had already heard some suspicions, it seemed that things were not going well on Angela's side.
"Yes, there's no problem on my side." Zhuo Fei's answer was very concise, but Steven's heart had already settled, this was Angela's order, so there were some things that he couldn't tell Zhuo Fei too thoroughly. Zhuo Fei and Zhuo Yan, who were full of wine and food, were arranged to rest after a tiring journey, but Steven and Guderian got together again, whispering things that only the two of them could understand.
"I told the boss about the revival meeting, but the boss didn't say anything, neither agreed nor opposed, and I don't know what kind of attitude the boss has in his heart." Guderian drained the glass and muttered something to Steven beside him. Although there was no dissatisfaction with Zhuo Fei in Guderian's words, there was already a trace of loneliness in his tone, and he thought that Zhuo Fei did not express his position on the spot, which was his distrust of himself.
Guderian's expression was completely seen by Steven, he took the wine bottle on the table and poured another glass for Guderian, Steven smiled, "No wonder Miss Angela said that you can only be a captain of the guard, I think Miss Angela is right, if the boss's mind can be guessed by you, then can he still be our boss?" You remember, the boss is the one who is in charge of the overall plan, and we will do the rest of the things, and if the boss has to make the decision, then what else do we need to do. ”
Guderian was still a little unconvinced by Steven's words, and really wanted to open his mouth to refute a few words, but Steven preemptively said, "The boss didn't say that thing just now, this is the boss's attitude, and not saying it is equivalent to agreeing." The boss has said that he is going to the Jewish camp, so naturally we will do the specific operation of the things in Yangon. Therefore, you don't have to worry about the boss's trust in us at all, the boss is a person who does big things, and you don't have to think about the boss's mind in the future, which is not good. ”
Guderian didn't know why Steven was so heartfelt to Zhuo Fei, but he carefully pondered Steven's words and found that he actually thought so in his heart, I don't know when he had decided to do anything for Zhuo Fei willingly. Zhuo Fei, who had already gone to bed, had no idea about this little discussion between Steven and Guderian, and for him, it was most important for him to rush to the border as soon as possible to meet Angela and those Jews.
More than 60,000 Jews have already been placed in the area of Ruili close to the border, and it is not an easy task to accommodate 60,000 people, not to mention that Angela has only more than 60 guards at her disposal. Europeans evaluate Jews as white-eyed wolves, saying that Jews are very ungrateful, and that Europe took in homeless Jews, but when Jews gained a foothold in Europe, they began to compete with Europeans for living space.
Zhuo Fei didn't want the Jews to be the same in Ruili, if that was the case, Zhuo Fei would think that he had done a big mistake. When Steven said that Angela was going to the border by herself, there was obviously a trace of anxiety in her eyes, Zhuo Fei didn't ask Steven on the spot, anyway, as long as she rushed to the border, everything would be revealed. If the Jews who migrated to Ruili did not obey Angela's dispatch, Zhuo Fei did not mind giving those Jews a warning to them to recognize where they were.
