Chapter 32 Borrowing the East Wind

"Uncle, I think this is a good opportunity." Tang Cheng's voice sounded a little distorted in the telephone receiver, but Zhang Jianghe on the other end of the phone listened carefully. "This week's family started by relying on horse gangs, they not only walked the line between Kunming and Chongqing, but also had a relationship with the Burmese side, and the cause of this incident was a series of troubles caused by the problem of arms from the British. I pondered, since the Zhou family can take the most munitions from the British, they should also be able to ** medicines! ”

At the end of Tang Cheng's words, he bit the words heavily, so that Zhang Jianghe on the other end of the phone could clearly hear the word medicine. Zhang Jianghe has been quietly buying medicines from the black market in Chongqing for almost a year, but it is a pity that so far, the drugs he has obtained are not enough to supply a small clinic. "Be careful!" Zhang Jianghe on the other end of the phone paused slightly, and then said in a somewhat astringent voice.

Tang Cheng, who was holding the telephone receiver in his hand, smiled secretly in his heart, and said in his heart that he was afraid that you would ignore this stubble, as long as you answered, the rest of the things would be easy to do. Zhou Shengnan's appearance was too sudden, but her appearance gave Tang Cheng an excuse, an excuse to prepare for the construction of a material channel. Tang Cheng, who has the memory of later generations, knows that what is actually fought in the war is logistics supply, and at the moment when long-range ** and *** have not yet appeared, the supply of logistics materials and the human factor are almost the same.

At the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the national army was defeated and retreated, not because the soldiers who participated in the war were unwilling to sacrifice their lives, but because the logistics and supplies of the people could not keep up. The Japanese army not only had warships to provide naval artillery fire support for the landing force, but they also had planes, tanks, and other heavy equipment, but the national army was extremely short of heavy weapons and equipment, and even the ammunition necessary for soldiers was uneven. The battle of Wuhan is about to begin, and according to the trend of the war, the Japanese army will also conquer Guangzhou and control almost all of China's foreign ports.

Without an external port, it means that the people will lose the channel for purchasing arms from foreign countries, and the Yunnan-Burma Highway, which has been built since 37 years, will become China's only external channel. The sudden appearance of Zhou Shengnan and the relationship between the Zhou family and the British in Burma made Tang Cheng see an opportunity to intervene in the Yunnan-Burma Highway in advance. Tang Cheng called Zhang Jianghe because he wanted Zhang Jianghe to know the opportunity contained in it, and if this passage could be opened in advance, Yan'an might not be able to profit from it.

"Uncle, I feel so, the Zhou family's affairs are easy to solve, after all, Kunming Station still owes me a big favor. The people of the Zhou family brought me three pieces of jadeite, although these three pieces of jade look good, but I feel that the Zhou family should show greater sincerity in order to offset the face of Kunming Station selling us. Tang Cheng held back a smile in his heart, and said a lot of things in his mouth, but he never got to the point.

"Let's get straight to the point, I'm not interested in talking to you here!" Tang Cheng deliberately said some gossip to tease Zhang Jianghe, and after listening patiently for a while, Zhang Jianghe on the other end of the phone finally couldn't bear it anymore and scolded Tang Cheng on the phone. Tang Cheng endured even more bitterness when he heard this, before this phone call, Tang Cheng had thought about deliberately provoking Zhang Jianghe countless times, but he didn't succeed, but he didn't expect that he finally succeeded today.

"The Zhou family has a good relationship with the British in Burma, according to their account, since three years ago, the Zhou family has been connected with a British man in Yangon through a Tusi head in Burma, and in three years, the Zhou family has supplied arms and materials to forty percent of the bandits in Burma and on the Yunnan border. The Zhou family suffered this time, if we don't intervene, the Zhou family will definitely have no chance to turn over. I plan to take a stake in the Zhou family's smuggling business, so that they can continue to contact the Englishman and smuggle drugs into the country. ”

After Tang Cheng had this idea in his heart, he had already made repeated plans and deductions in his mind, which was a habit that Tang Cheng had developed for many years. What he told Zhang Jianghe now was not all his plans, because if he wanted to pull Zhang Jianghe into the urn, he had to bring it up to Zhang Jianghe himself, otherwise Tang Cheng's words and deeds would seem very deliberate, and he might be recognized by Zhang Jianghe. Sure enough, just as Tang Cheng expected, Zhang Jianghe on the other end of the phone fell into deep thought.

After about half a cigarette, Zhang Jianghe on the other end of the phone finally reacted, "Your idea is very good, but how can you guarantee that the Zhou family will act according to your idea?" What's more, the opponent of the Zhou family may not have no background, how do you think that Kunming Station can solve the trouble? I told you a long time ago that the people of the military command are not easy to deal with, how can you guarantee that the people at Kunming Station will not covet the Zhou family's money because of this matter? ”

Zhang Jianghe's series of questions did not surprise Tang Cheng, before deciding to call Zhang Jianghe, he had already deduced all the possible problems, including the questions that Zhang Jianghe had just asked. There is no need to waver with Zhang Jianghe, these questions asked by Zhang Jianghe are exactly what Tang Cheng wants to hear, because of the emergence of these questions, Tang Cheng can continue to fool Zhang Jianghe.

"Uncle, do you think the Kunming station has great power, or the headquarters has great power?" Tang Cheng did not answer Zhang Jianghe immediately, but opened his mouth to ask Zhang Jianghe on the other end of the phone. Without waiting for Zhang Jianghe to answer, Tang Cheng continued, "If this matter is not successful, we will have nothing to lose, after all, the people of the Zhou family have already sent three pieces of jade. But if it succeeds, the benefits will be great, even if we hand over this line to the headquarters, at least the headquarters should give you a promotion, give me some bonuses or something! ”

When Tang Cheng mentioned that he would hand over this plan to the Military Command Headquarters, Zhang Jianghe on the other end of the phone couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but when he heard Tang Cheng's last words, Zhang Jianghe was amused by Tang Cheng's promotion bonus or something. "Uncle, don't laugh yet, I'm serious." Tang Chao didn't expect that Zhang Jianghe on the other end of the phone would react so much, and he was talking about such a serious matter, and he could still laugh.

"The Yunnan-Burma Highway was built by the Dragon Prince, and the current situation in the country, I believe that the Dragon Lord in Kunming can also see it. Once all external channels are lost, the national army will have no possibility of arms and materials from foreign countries, and the country will not have the dragon lord, how can he guarantee his interests in Yunnan. Uncle, your lord is a thoughtful person, if there is an opportunity to meddle in the Yunnan-Burma Highway, do you think he will ignore it? ”

Tang Cheng's last sentence was the key point, Zhang Jianghe only thought about it for a while, and immediately understood what Tang Cheng wanted to express to himself. But if the plan that Tang Cheng said was joined by the military commanders, then how could the ones he thought about be guaranteed? Zhang Jianghe secretly thought about this in his heart, Tang Cheng on the other end of the phone had stopped talking, and he wanted to leave Zhang Jianghe time to think and decide. After a while, Tang Cheng heard Zhang Jianghe's voice, and it was obvious that Zhang Jianghe had not yet made a decision in his heart.

"Uncle, this matter doesn't sound like a thing, but if it is really operated, it is definitely not something that you and I can control. There is no other reason, the benefits are too great, we are little people who have no heels, if we stupidly participate in it, the end will definitely not be good! Tang Cheng reminded Zhang Jianghe very vaguely. In fact, if we hand it over to the headquarters, our benefits will not be less, and it is not too easy to do our own business under the brand of military commandery! ”

Tang Cheng's words can be regarded as waking up the dreamer, in fact, Tang Cheng began to plan this matter, and his idea was to use two groups of people to operate this matter with one brand. The military commander came forward to set up a smuggling channel, and he and Zhang Jiang followed the crowd to make a small fuss, even if someone came to investigate, they could use the name of the military commander to protect themselves. "To be specific, it's not easy to fool around at headquarters." Tang Cheng was immediately on the phone and heard Zhang Jianghe's voice.

"You can first set up a trading house in the name of the military commander, and then trade with the British in the form of private to private. Or you can directly use the Zhou family as an agent and give the Zhou family an identity as a military commander to control them, and when something happens, the Zhou family is the scapegoat. The suggestion given by Tang Cheng was repeatedly deduced by him, and his suggestion made Zhang Jianghe on the other end of the phone secretly applaud in his heart. Tang Cheng's suggestion is undoubtedly the best way, and if something happens, it will definitely not involve them.

Tang Cheng's suggestion was quickly reported to the Military Command Headquarters through Zhang Jianghe's channel, and Tang Cheng originally thought that he would wait a long time before he could get a reply from the Military Command Headquarters. However, he never expected that only two days after Zhang Jianghe's telegram was sent, the Military Command Headquarters had already sent people to Chongqing. "There are three people from the headquarters, and the person in charge is surnamed Dai, called Dyce City, and it is said that he is a distant nephew of the bureau." Zhang Jianghe, who had communicated with Tang Cheng in advance, didn't talk much, but Tang Cheng had already heard some meaning from his words.

Tang Cheng originally thought that Dai Sicheng came to Chongqing with the sign of the Military Command Bureau, and he should be a good person, but who knew that as soon as they met, Tang Cheng found that the other party was a smart person with his own fortune in his chest, and Dai Sicheng went straight to the point as soon as they met, and directly rejected the method of forming a commercial bank, but chose to use the Zhou family as an agent. In return, the military commander stepped forward to solve the trouble faced by the Zhou family, and gave the Zhou family the position of deputy chief of the general affairs section of the Kunming station of the military command.

Tang Cheng, who only had the identity of a sheriff, was not neglected by Dai Sicheng, and after Zhang Jianghe was promoted to a first-class military rank, Tang Cheng also got the opportunity to take goods from the Zhou family's channels, but Tang Cheng's goods must not involve arms and medicines. "That's pretty good, if it weren't for the final slap in the bureau, do you think you, a little sheriff, would be able to participate in this kind of thing?" was restricted from smuggling medicines, Tang Cheng's heart was full of complaints, but Zhang Jianghe, who was fortunate enough to participate in the matter, reminded Tang Cheng.
