"It should be a small detachment of the Japanese army attacking and harassing the troops, most of the Japanese army is still making trouble in Vietnam, and they will not be able to hit Burma for a while and a half, and the purpose of their attack on the Yunnan-Burma Highway should be to cause panic, so as to affect the speed of sending materials into China" Ye Kong was still busy looking for Yu Dazhi in Wan Town, but Zhao Zhi, who was far away in Yangon, was already sitting in Capone's office at this time, holding the report submitted by the Burmese garrison, and the content of the report was about the disappearance of the British patrols.

In the past month, the Burmese garrison has lost three patrols, and the places where the patrols disappeared were all in the mountains and forests near the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and one of the missing British patrols was only 50 kilometers away from Tonggu, which was the first stop after leaving Yangon on the Yunnan-Burma Highway. According to Zhao Zhi's judgment, it must have been the Japanese striker scouts who attacked the British patrol, and the British patrol who was attacked just inadvertently broke through their hiding place.

Although Zhao Zhi said that he went to Europe, these battle reports were received without a day, especially Yu Dazhi, who sent them regularly once a day, and the change in the tactics of the national army made Zhao Zhi greatly admired. Under the subtle influence of Zhao Zhi, there was the smooth implementation of the Spark Plan, and the strategy of the national army against the enemy has changed from the original hard fight to the current killing and wounding of the enemy, a large number of combat-effective national army troops withdrew from the city and entered the complex terrain to lurk and wait for fighters, and a large number of people were moved to live in the southwestern national control area.

Since Zhao Zhi entered Shanxi for the second time with his mercenary troops, most of the Nationalist troops confronting the Japanese army have changed their methods of warfare, on the one hand, they have gathered troops to rely on the terrain to hold the defensive area, and on the other hand, they have sent elite small detachments to infiltrate the rear of the Japanese army to attack and disturb the war. After the supply lines were cut off by the Nationalist squads, the combat strength of the Japanese troops on the front line was greatly reduced, and they also suffered several defeats in the battles with the Nationalist troops, so the Japanese army started the idea of the Nationalist Government's material delivery line, and they tried in vain to choke the Nationalist Government's neck.

Capone was obviously not as strong as Zhao Zhi imagined, and after Zhao Zhi judged that the disappearance of the British patrol was related to the Japanese army, Capone, who was a little happy because of the large amount of money coming in, returned to his original pale face. The Japanese offensive in Southeast Asia was fierce, and now the British mainland was under attack by the German army, and Capone knew the reason that the whip was beyond the reach of the whip. In Capone's view, Burma, located in Southeast Asia, was already regarded as an outcast by the mainland, and once the Japanese army launched an attack on Burma, his governor would be considered to be the first to do so.

"Capone, Capone" Zhao Zhi suddenly splashed the water in the cup on Capone's face, which woke up the depressed Capone, "Capone, you still have an army to use, and my friend, I will help you" Zhao Zhi, who hates iron and steel, put the water cup back on the table heavily, this timid guy still has the value of being used, Zhao Zhi needs to stabilize him.

"No, you don't know how powerful the Japanese are, Burma only has 50,000 garrisons, and these troops are scattered all over the place, the Japanese only need a few divisions, Burma is theirs, can't hold it" Capone covered his head in frustration, the British army fought with the Japanese army in Hong Kong, compared with the fierce Japanese army, the British soldiers were like a group of lambs to the slaughter. As long as there were Japanese troops in Burma, their follow-up troops were not far away, and Capone shuddered at the thought of the Japanese soldiers who were swarming all over the mountains.

Looking at the frustrated and helpless Capone, the corners of Zhao Zhi's mouth were raised high, after the efforts of the Jewish high priest and those patriarchs, Zhao Zhi had reached an agreement with the Jews. The Jews who were forcibly sent to Burma by Zhao Zhi served Zhao Zhi for five years, and Zhao Zhi paid for their transportation, during which time all Jewish engineers and technical individuals had to serve Zhao Zhi's military factory, and Zhao Zhi had to pay them wages according to European standards. Five years later, Zhao Zhi promised to escort the Jews to settle in Jerusalem and provide the Jews with the necessary weapons and materials for settlement, and in return, the Jews would select 200,000 young men for Zhao Zhi to organize the Jewish Army.

said that it was 200,000 people, but in fact, the list of young Jewish people under his command had already exceeded 300,000 to join the army, and if it weren't for the fear that it would affect his cooperation with Capone, Zhao Zhi would have taken out the weapons and equipment that had accumulated in the cabin to arm those Jews. Now, Zhao Zhi finally waited for an excuse for the Jews to be properly equipped with guns, "Capone, you know, there are a lot of young people among those Jewish refugees, and I have a large number of weapons to be sent back to China in the hold of the dock, anyway, these people and weapons are going to be transported back to China through the Yunnan-Burma Highway, you see if you can arm these Jewish refugees and let them guard the safety of the towns along the Yunnan-Burma Highway, so that you can transfer your soldiers back to defend the seaport and relatively important defense areas."

"Hmm" After listening to Zhao Zhi's words, Capone's eyes had some looks, yes, Zhao Zhi was holding a lot of Jews in his hands, and now he was shooting again, anyway, he didn't have to pay a penny, why not give it a try? "Zhao, is this really okay? I mean, those Jews of yours have never fought before, so they can withstand the attacks of the Japanese detachments."

Seeing Capone's answer like this, the smile in Zhao Zihan's eyes couldn't help but deepen a little, Capone would ask like this, obviously thinking about what he had just proposed. "Capone, some of those Jewish refugees were originally soldiers and officers dismissed from Eastern European countries, and I have hundreds of thunder mercenaries under my command, I think these thunder mercenaries are enough to train the young Jews who have been drafted, all you have to do now is to give these Jews a suitable identity for guns."

"Identity?" Capone was a little confused, and then kept shaking his head, "Zhao, I can't give them the number of the British army, I'm just a governor, I can't give them the serial number that belongs to the British army" Capone thought that Zhao Zhi was asking him for the number of a regular British army for those Jews.

"No, my friend, I didn't mean that" Zhao Zhi took out a badge from his pocket and threw it to Capone, "This is the badge of the Thunder Defense Company, these Jewish soldiers can guard the road in the name of Thunder Defense, I just need a copy of your authorization, authorizing them to use firearms and some heavy weapons in Burma, they can be said to be the mercenary troops of Thunder Defense to the outside world"

Capone held the heavy badge in his hand and played with it, with Zhao Zhi's proposal, Capone was no longer as flustered as just now, and he began to wonder whether Zhao Zhi's proposal was beneficial to him. If these Jews were better off just guarding the roads, but the Yunnan-Burma Highway passed through many towns, would it really be like Zhao Zhi said, those towns needed Jews to be guarded, and if so, Capone was afraid that he would lose control of these towns.

Zhao Zhi just lowered his head and drank coffee, Capone is a mercenary guy, Zhao Zhi has a bigger bait that he hasn't taken out, he doesn't believe that in the face of such a big temptation, the greedy Capone will not take the bait. The spacious office was quiet, neither Capone nor Zhao Zhi spoke, Capone was thinking about the pros and cons, but Zhao Zhi had already traveled overseas and didn't know what he was thinking.

Zhao Zhi didn't want to force Capone to say that it was imperative to form a Jewish legion, and it was a matter of time to send them weapons and equipment knowledge, and Zhao Zhi originally planned to transfer these young Jewish people who were suitable for joining the army into China, but now that the Japanese army had begun to destroy the Yunnan-Burma Highway, Zhao Zhi just wanted the Jews to feel the atmosphere of fighting against the Japanese army in advance.

Capone thought about it carefully, and finally agreed to Zhao Zhi's proposal, but this statement was a compromise made after Zhao Zhi threw out the benefits. In response to Capone's promise to the Jewish Legion to carry guns in Burma and provide a training ground, Zhao Zhi would buy all the minerals in Yangon Harbor at a price of more than 20% more than the international price. Since the British mainland was attacked by the Germans, all kinds of ores that were supposed to be shipped back to the mainland were piled up on the dock indefinitely, and since Zhao Zhi used more than the original price to buy these ores, Capone was extremely happy.

Zhao Zhi planned to use half of the gold and half of the pound sterling to pay for the ore this time, and if all the counterfeit notes were used, Zhao Zhi was worried that he would be suspected by Capone, anyway, the gold was also exchanged for counterfeit notes from the British mainland. High-quality iron ore and oil are the materials that Zhao Zhi urgently needs at present, and the Salem in the southeast of Yangon is the oil refining base established by the British, where there is an oil pipeline along with the Ringanqiang oil field, as long as Capone agrees to Zhao Zhi to buy the minerals of Burma, these iron ore and oil will continue to enter China through the Yunnan-Burma Highway, and Zhao Zhi's Jewish Legion is the military force to protect the Yunnan-Burma Highway.

Anyway, the minerals from the piled up port can't be transported, and Capone, who saw the money, waved his pen, and these things belonged to Zhao Zhi, not only the minerals that were backlogged on the wharf, but also the minerals mined in Myanmar in the future will be given priority to Zhao Zhi. Under the influence of Zhao Zhi, Capone still has a bit of the meaning of local princes, the British mainland has long been unable to take care of Burma, Capone feels that he is likely to be the last British governor, rather than waiting for Germany or Japan to control his own destiny, it is better to take advantage of his own reign, more benefits for himself. When the situation is not right, this money is enough to stay in Switzerland comfortably for the rest of his life, a thousand words, it is better to hold the money in his own hands.
