Chapter XXXVII
"Go back or stay here and find an opportunity to evacuate to India?" Capone's voice echoed in the living room, and the British officers stationed in Burma were dumbfounded, they all knew that Britain was now under attack by the German army, and Britain, which had lost a large number of troops in France, was still amassing a large number of troops on its own soil. However, now the newly appointed Prime Minister has also issued a summoning order to summon the British troops stationed in the overseas colonies to return to the war, which shows that the situation in Britain has deteriorated, at least the British army at home is almost unable to stop the German offensive.
Last year, the German Christmas Eve operation triggered a large-scale German landing in Britain, and Capone, as the governor of Burma, had sent 20,000 British troops back to fight in the war, and now there are only 50,000 British troops left in Burma. According to the Prime Minister's convening order, Capone could only leave 10,000 British troops stationed in Burma, not to mention 10,000 British troops, even all 50,000 troops could not withstand the attack of the Japanese army, and the current Burma is almost an undefended country.
"Capone, you better stay and withdraw to China with me, I can't give you an official position, but I can make you live a very prosperous life for the rest of your life" When Capone and the officers were tangled in the living room, Zhao Zhi called. Before the Japanese army launched an offensive in Burma, Zhao Zhi's part of the plan in Burma still needed Capone's assistance, and Zhao Zhi, who did not want to give up halfway, must keep Capone, at least not let Capone leave for now.
"Why? I mean, why are you helping me? Capone hesitated a little about Zhao Zhi's olive branch, in Capone's impression, Zhao Zhi was a very dangerous guy, if it weren't for the amount of money Zhao Zhi gave, he would not have gotten so close to Zhao Zhi.
"No why, I just don't want to make Rowling sad, you must know that Margaret is Rowling's only friend here" In the face of Capone's questioning, Rowling, who leaned on Zhao Zhi's shoulder and nibbled on Apple, was used as an excuse, and Zhao Zhi defined his olive branch to Capone as the pure friendship between Rowling and Margaret. Zhao Zhi's statement made Rowling very dissatisfied, but she knew that Zhao Zhi said this in order to deal with Capone, so Rowling didn't make any small moves to Zhao Zhi except for rolling her eyes a few times.
"You send all the troops back, I have 80,000 Jewish soldiers under my command, you can hire my army to protect Burma in the name of the governor" Zhao Zhi's tone carried the peculiar philistine of a merchant, for Thunder, this is business. The reason why Zhao Zhi said this was because he knew that Capone would not agree to hire a Jewish army to protect Burma, he just wanted Capone to feel that he was friends with him, and that he would regard himself as his last retreat when Capone felt hopeless.
Capone really rejected Zhao Zhi's kindness, but there was a hint of goodwill in his tone, and the tone of refusal was not very blunt. "Luo Ying, contact Dazhi and them immediately, the plan is going to be accelerated, Myanmar will soon be in chaos, we have to make plans early" Hanging up the phone, Zhao Zhi hugged Luo Lin in his arms. A key part of his great retreat plan is to do his best to plunder materials from Burma, grain, minerals, oilseeds, timber, gems and gold are all his targets, the guarantee certificate issued by the Thunder Bank is just a means of hedging on the surface, Yu Dazhi has already made a lot of money from those Burmese toasts with the help of the Jewish gangster's casino, and now it seems that Yu Dazhi has to increase their efforts, and they must obtain the material reserves that Zhao Zhi wants before the retreat plan is in full swing.
The matter of the summoning order was spread in Yangon City, but the Governor Capone had been silent, and the officers were trying their best to avoid this issue. Zhao Zhi has no good impression of those British people who seem to be arrogant but are actually dirty, as long as they are not British people who are useful to him, Zhao Zhi completely ignores their existence, and in just a few days, many British people who have just withdrawn money from Thunder Investment Bank have been robbed and blackmailed by Jewish gangsters. The reason why it hasn't been happened to other Britons is because these guys have been warned by the Jewish gangsters that the informers will be put in sacks and thrown into the sea to feed the fish.
Capone's insistence did not work, and Churchill sent him another summoning order, this time from Cairo with a warrant by the Prime Minister's envoy. "I respect the Prime Minister's summoning order, and I will summon the officers to the Governor's Palace" In front of the powerful Prime Minister's envoy, Capone chose to compromise with Churchill, although he knew in his heart what would be the result of withdrawing a large number of troops.
"Mr. Governor-General, you don't need to bother you about the army, I'll just talk to them alone" Capone was politely invited out of the conference room by the Prime Minister's special envoy, although this meeting room belonged to the Governor's Palace, and belonged to Capone, the Governor of Burma. Capone was the British-appointed governor of Burma, but the troops stationed there were not under his command, and at first the officers would follow Capone's orders, because when people were in fear, Capone held the highest position. The envoy who is now coming represents the new Prime Minister Winston Churchill, so Capone, the governor in charge of internal affairs, is directly isolated from the military.
"Sir, what shall we do?" Zhao Zhi's car was stopped outside the gate by the guards of the Governor's Palace, which was the order of the envoy, and when he was in a meeting with the officers, the envoy needed absolute control of the entire Governor's Palace. The merchant ship on which the prime minister's envoy was traveling belonged to the Lockman family, and the American fleet that crossed the Suez Canal was the last fleet to deliver weapons to Zhao Zhi, and Hans, who successfully completed the mission, was also on that ship, so Zhao Zhi learned the news of the envoy's visit to Yangon as soon as possible. Zhao Zhi originally wanted to find Capone to launch his entire plan, but now he can't even enter the gate of the Governor's Palace.
"Let's go, go back" Zhao Zhi looked at the gate of the Governor's Mansion unwillingly, got in the car and left. It seems that Britain still has a slight illusion about resisting the enemy on its own, and wants to gather those British troops stationed in the colonies and use the tactics of crowds to push the German troops into the sea. However, Zhao Zhi knew that the British were wrong in their wishful thinking, and when the United States refused to join them in the fight against the German army, Britain was doomed to be defeated by the German army.
Zhao Zhi, who returned to his residence, immediately summoned all the Jewish families and gang leaders left in Yangon City, "Our plan is going to start in advance, the new British Prime Minister has sent an envoy to transfer all the British troops stationed here back to China, Capone has been vacated by them" Zhao Zhi looked around the Jews in the room, "Now I order you to start evacuating the Jews in the city immediately, I don't care what method you use, you must let them leave Yangon before dawn, I will arrange for the soldiers in the training camp outside the city to help you"
After sending those Jews away, Zhao Zhi gathered his cronies together, and the weapons that were being unloaded from the ship at the dock must also be transported away immediately, once the envoy knew that there were a large number of weapons on the dock, not only Zhao Zhi was afraid that even Capone would not be able to get out of it. "Dazhi, you immediately go to the training camp outside the city, take my warrant to mobilize a legion of soldiers, go to the docks to help carry weapons, and be sure to transport them all out of Yangon City before midnight"
"Hans, you take two mercenary teams to the bank to find Fehlman, help him load all the things in the bank and transport them away, and transport them directly to China along with Feuerman and those bank clerks" Zhao Zhi stared at Hans's eyes and slapped him heavily, "Hans, the bank is the key, remember, the action must be fast, if someone bumps into it, it will say that the bank needs to be expanded, and you are helping the bank move to a bigger place"
One after another orders were sent out by Zhao Zhi, and there were fewer and fewer mercenaries left by his side, and the mercenaries who received the orders drove out of the courtyard in a jeep at a gallop, and disappeared in the afterglow of the setting sun. Zhao Zhi only has one night, if he can't finish all this before dawn, the plan that Zhao Zhi has planned for a long time will fall short, Zhao Zhi's hands are sweating. Before Britain was defeated by the German army, Zhao Zhi could not expose his relationship with Germany, let alone his identity as the grandson-in-law of the Lockman family, and his current identity was just a mercenary leader.
The bars and casinos opened by the Jewish gangsters in Yangon were still open, and they were a cover for Zhao Zhi's actions, and none of these entertainment venues were ordered by Zhao Zhi to close until Zhao Zhi removed the weapons from the docks. Groups of Jewish soldiers poured directly onto the docks, the ammunition was carried onto the trucks, and the guns were directly carried on their bodies, and the 20,000 Jewish soldiers who were urgently transferred by Yu Dazhi were like ants, relying on people's backs to hold most of the empty weapons in just one trip, and at this speed, in the middle of the night, all the weapons sent by the fleet could be moved to the training camp outside the city.
The Jewish families and the gangsters were also dissatisfied with the speed, the gangsters were busy everywhere, and the Jewish families living in the settlements were knocked on the doors of each house, and trucks, cars, horse-drawn carriages, as long as there was any means of transportation. In the whole city of Yangon, only the group of Jews who had just been sent a few days ago, a total of only more than 20,000 people, Zhao Zhi insisted on setting up Jewish settlements outside the city, now it seems that it is really a wise choice, at least the overall evacuation of 20,000 Jews did not alarm the British. As for the merchants who lived in the wealthy areas of Yangon, as early as after the sun went down and closed their shops, they secretly took advantage of the cover of nightfall to load the shops in the shops and transport them out of the city, as long as Zhao Zhi gave the final signal to evacuate, the Jews left behind as cover in the entire Yangon city would disappear without a trace within half an hour.
