Chapter 38: When the Action Goes Through (7)

"It can't be! The United States will not agree to sell weapons to its citizens! "Tang Cheng's side has just started, and Edmund reacted immediately." In the top level of the United States, there have always been people who are willing to speak for the Japanese, otherwise how could so many so-called scrap steel be shipped to Japan. Moreover, the United States has no plans to export weapons, and the isolationist faction they pursue is worried that it will lead the war to the United States. ”

It was only at this moment that Edmund finally understood Tang Cheng's intentions, but what he said just now was not to refute Tang Cheng, in fact, the current attitude of the United States ** is like this. "Edmund, I know all this, this is Shanghai, it is the Pearl of the Orient, and all kinds of news are passed on in private. However, I personally believe that the attitude of the United States is not important, but the attitude of the Jewish community in the United States. ”

The influence of the American Jewish community in this era is not as strong as it was after World War II, but it cannot be ignored that the current Jewish community in the United States has shown a certain strength and influence. When Tang Cheng mentioned the American Jewish community, a trace of confusion appeared on the faces of the three Edmund people, and they didn't understand what Tang Cheng meant. "I think you are fans of the authorities, are the Jewish groups in the United States American? Since they are Americans, they will not violate the US Constitution if they run the military industry, right? ”

"When I talk about using weapons and equipment and cooperating with the people, I don't mean that the United States has the first weapons and equipment, and I don't want any aircraft and artillery. It's just infantry equipment, such as rifles, pistols, **, light and heavy machine guns and mortars, ordinary infantry weapons and equipment that can be produced in any arsenal. Tang Cheng tapped his fingers on the tabletop, and a smile appeared on his face.

"In the southwest of China, Yunnan, to be precise, people have built a road from Myanmar to Kunming, Yunnan. If you can cooperate with the people**, your compatriots in the Far East can go south to Burma by sea, and then go directly to Yunnan through this Yunnan-Burma highway. Yunnan is located in the southwest, where there are too many mountains and jungles, no matter how powerful the Japanese army is, it is impossible for them to fight in Yunnan. ”

Tang Cheng was already dipped his fingers in coffee, drew a rough map of China on the table, and marked the location of Yunnan on the map very intimately. "The Japanese have not yet reached into South Asia, so this Yunnan-Burma highway is quite safe, if even this Yunnan-Burma highway is cut off, if you want to go to Yunnan again, I am afraid it will not be as easy as it is now, at least it is impossible for a large number of people to go south." Tang Cheng didn't all use lies to deceive Edmund and the others, at least the Yunnan-Burma Highway incident was true.

Tang Cheng's words made Edmund and the three of them look heavy, Tang Cheng's suggestion sounded like a fantasy, but if you think about it carefully, it seems to make some sense, at least where Yunnan is, they all know. Seeing that Edmund and the three of them looked at each other, Tang Cheng stopped talking, just lit a cigarette and smoked silently, but the corner of his eye kept paying attention to the three of Edmund. "Your suggestion sounds reasonable, but none of the three of us have the authority to agree to your suggestion, and we don't know how to contact the people."

After the three of Edmund looked at each other for a while, they finally gave Tang Cheng some explanation. When Edmund spoke, he looked very sincere, but Tang Cheng smiled secretly in his heart. What do you mean by not knowing how to contact the people**? It's not like you're trying to test yourself! "Since you can't make a decision, it's better to find a way to ask your superiors first, and when you have a decision, you can tell me at any time." Tang Cheng glanced down at his watch, it was almost time to meet Boss Yu. Tang Cheng immediately got up and stood up, whispered an explanation, and left the café without looking back. Tang Cheng left, and the three Edmund were still sitting in place without moving, and after a little muttering, Edmund slowly spoke.

"Dake, you haven't spoken, what do you think of that suggestion he just made?" Edmund turned his head to look at the other foreign young man, compared to George, who was reckless by nature, Dekker looked much older, but in fact, Dekker, who had just graduated from West Point, was a year younger than George. Like George, is not the first time to come to China, and has his own views on the understanding of China and the Chinese.

"The suggestion he just made, I personally think it is very operational, but it still needs a lot of preliminary preparation. But I am now more interested in that person than in his suggestion, and according to what I have just observed, this person is definitely not simple. He pulls out his gun very quickly, he should be a long-term gun user, but looking at his age, it seems that he is not as old as me and George, which is very strange and confuses me. ”

's answer sounded a bit unanswered, but fortunately, Edmund and George had long been accustomed to his temperament. Tang Cheng, who had already left the café, actually didn't go far, there was still some time to meet with Boss Yu, Tang Cheng planned to follow Edmund and them secretly, it was best to find the foothold of those two foreign young people, and like, Tang Cheng also saw that, who was silent, was not an ordinary person.

Time passed little by little, and the three Edmund still didn't come out of the café, seeing that the time to meet with Boss Yu was approaching, Tang Cheng, who was impatient, could only leave the street first. "You've always arrived early, why are you five minutes late today!" In the warehouse of the tea house, Boss Yu, who was always vigilant, handed over a telegram to Tang Cheng. "This is the telegram I just received from the headquarters, and the headquarters does not approve or oppose the action to rescue the lone army camp. All in all, this rescue operation is your personal act. If you do well, there is no reward, and if you do wrong, there will be a punishment. Boss Yu's face didn't look very good, mainly because of this telegram from the headquarters, such a big action was actually attributed to Tang Cheng's personal behavior, he didn't know what the headquarters thought.

Tang Cheng took the telegram and read it carefully, and then comforted Boss Yu, "Uncle Yu, this is nothing, if it were me, I am afraid it would be like this." During the Battle of Shanghai, the units formed by the Intelligence Department twice to participate in the battle suffered heavy casualties, and the members of the committee were reprimanded in front of the chairman of the committee. The operation to rescue the lone army camp will probably have a great impact afterwards, and if the operation fails, it will definitely be used by the British and the Japanese to make a fuss, and the intelligence department can no longer withstand the toss. ”

"So you kid didn't want to have anything to do with the intelligence department in the first place! No wonder you turned down the Shanghai leg to participate in the action! "Boss Yu is not unreasonable, hearing Tang Cheng say this, he immediately understood. But Boss Yu's heart was a little more worried, "But this matter, you still have to think about it clearly, once there is a mistake in the operation to rescue the lone military camp, the headquarters will use you to blame if it is not good." ”

"Uncle Yu, it's too late for you to say this now." Tang Cheng grinned, "All the preliminary preparations have almost been completed, Mrs. Xie also came to Shanghai with her children, and she also went to the lonely military camp to meet with Chief Xie many times. If the rescue operation is terminated at this time, then all the preparations we made in the early stage will be in vain. Especially on Chief Xie's side, I'm afraid that Mrs. Xie has already said that if we terminate the rescue operation, what will happen to Chief Xie's side? ”

"Yes! Xie Jinyuan is a person who admits death, if we terminate the rescue operation, Xie Jinyuan is likely to think that the government has decided to give up the lone military camp. If it were me, I would think the same way! Boss Yu stretched out his hand and rubbed his chin, he had been persuaded by Tang Cheng that the rescue operation could not be stopped at this time, unless he really gave up the more than 300 soldiers in the entire lonely army camp.

"I have contacted the people of the Korean National Salvation Army, and I will provide them with some help, and they will make trouble and create disturbances in the Japanese-controlled areas to help us divert the attention of the Japanese army in Shanghai and the special high-tech department. The weapons I provided to the Korean National Salvation Army were the ones I brought back from the New Asia Hotel last time, and they would completely disrupt the sight of Shanghai Special High-Tech Co., as long as we added a little more fire, Special High-Tech would even think that the matter of the New Asia Hotel was also done by the Korean National Salvation Army. ”

The address of the Korean National Salvation Army in Shanghai was provided by Boss Yu, but he didn't expect that Tang Cheng would actually take the risk to contact the people of the Korean National Salvation Army, and also included the other party in the rescue plan. "Can those people from the Korean National Salvation Army do it?" Boss Yu has never met the people of the Korean National Salvation Army, so he is naturally skeptical about the ability of those people, and the best thing for the Korean National Salvation Army in Shanghai is to collect donations for the salvation of the North Koreans living in Shanghai.

"Whether they can do it or not has little to do with our rescue operation, because I don't expect them to do much in the Japanese-controlled area." Tang Cheng smiled very happily, like Boss Yu, Tang Cheng didn't have much hope for those people in the Korean National Salvation Army. If he hadn't needed someone to divert the attention of the Japanese army in Shanghai and the special high-tech, he wouldn't have rushed over to meet the Korean Salvation Army.

"I will accompany Mrs. Xie to the lonely army camp tomorrow, Xie Jinyuan has already said that he wants to meet me, I just happened to observe the situation in the lonely army camp up close, especially the situation of those White Russian soldiers. At this address, there are some things I prepared in advance, and if I don't come back tomorrow, you will leave Shanghai with these things and go to Chongqing to find Zhang Jiang and the stationmaster. Before Tang Cheng left the tea house, he handed Boss Yu an address, which was the back road he had prepared in advance.
