"Ha, what else do they dare to say about asset conversion, and they want to exchange for shares in the Florida Weapons Laboratory, have the heads of the Henry family been caught by the door? It's ridiculous," Rowling laughed as she threw the contract Henry had brought on the table, her expression full of disdain. Knowing that Henry and the others had settled down in the barracks, Zhao Zhi did not promise to see them immediately, but Rowling probed them first on behalf of Thunder, but he didn't expect Rowling's reaction to be like this after he came back.

"According to the news from the United States, the Henry family has been active in Washington and New York recently, and they seem to be doing some kind of business activities, and many companies have received invitations to their drinking parties, and it seems that they want to enter the American business world" Rowling calmed down for a while before resuming her usual pace of speech, but her tone still showed disdain for the Henry family.

"It's not that simple," Zhao Zhi took out his cigar and put it on his mouth, and continued slowly, "They are old British families, and it is okay to want to invest in business in the United States, but now Japan and the United States are at war, and the British government-in-exile has formed an alliance with Japan." You told me that Henry's family also worked in the military industry in England, and they wanted to exchange it for a stake in the laboratory, and I guess they also wanted to re-copy the old business to participate in the arms industry in the United States, and they only wanted to use the power of the Rockman family to cooperate with us."

"You don't know this," Rowling smiled and lit a cigar for Zhao Zhi, "The Henry family is a British family, and they want to participate in the military industry in the United States, which is simply impossible, especially now that Japan is at war with the United States." I guess they've been targeted by the FBI and the CIA, and maybe they're spies sent by the Japanese, and Henry dared to take such a big risk to come to China to find us, they must not be able to survive in Burma and the United States."

"Then let's drag it out first, anyway, the preparations for going south haven't been completed yet, they are begging someone to do something, and they are in a hurry at all" After talking to Henry, Zhao Zhi called a meeting of the officers who relied on him, and told everyone Henry's intention. The Jewish officers only listened to Zhao Zhi, they did not participate in the statement, Ye Kong and Tang Lei raised their hands to oppose the cooperation with the Henry family, in their opinion, why should they give a share to others when they can eat alone, the officers of the Rowling family are still thinking about it and have not expressed their position.

Henry's intentions were simple: his family had an eye on Burma's minerals and ports, Japan was now allied with the British, but the British had gone into exile in Australia, and Japan itself had suffered heavy losses in the Heavenly Punishment that had taken place in April. If Britain wanted to return to its homeland, it had to rely on the power of the Japanese navy, but this help had to be based on the Japanese navy's defeat of the American fleet, so Britain would launch Australian military factories to produce the ammunition they needed for the Japanese navy.

The uninterrupted production of military factories requires a large number of raw materials, and it is not a good way to transport materials from Southeast Asia to Australia, not to mention the long distance, time-consuming and labor-intensive, even if you cross the strait, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not encounter a blockade by American ships. Henry's family saw the mystery of this, so they started the idea of Burma, they have privately made a preliminary agreement with the Japanese side, Henry's family will build an iron smelting plant in Burma, increase the construction of oil refineries, expand the port, and the Japanese army will recognize the Henry family's actual control over Burma.

As the old saying goes, imagination is beautiful but the reality is cruel, Henry's family followed the Japanese army into Burma, and after investing a lot of manpower and material resources, they found that the Japanese only gave them the title of governor of Burma, but the actual power was not at all, and their people even had to report to the Japanese army when they walked out of Yangon.

After working hard to get such a result, Henry's family is naturally furious, but the British troops left behind in Burma have already been imprisoned by the Japanese army, and the thunder, which is now famous in Burma, has naturally become their target for help, and Henry, who has dealt with Zhao Zhi, has become the preferred representative this time. Henry came this time, not only on behalf of his family, but also with the British Colonel William's entrustment, after a large number of British troops were transferred back to the mainland, and the governor was also sent to Kunming by Zhao Zhi, Colonel William became the de facto controller of Burma, and he was also Zhao Zhi's business partner.

Every day, there were convoys transporting grain, iron ore and oil from Burma back to Kunming, and the next day there were convoys carrying cloth and daily necessities from Kunming into Burma. Not only did the Japanese take over the mines and oil fields, but they also imprisoned William and his soldiers, and if they wanted to get out of the camps, they had to swear allegiance to the emperor. It is okay to lay down arms at the behest of the government-in-exile, and it is okay to let the Japanese into Burma, but William is absolutely unwilling to swear allegiance to Japan to the Japanese emperor.

William had been to the Thunder's base in Kunming, and had seen a training camp that could accommodate 10,000 people and a renovated European-style tank cluster. Thunder is nominally a military company, but William knows that Thunder is by no means as simple as he sees, a base where millions of people gather, an arsenal operated by tens of thousands of people and more than a thousand military technicians, William believes that the Japanese army in Burma will never be the opponent of Thunder, and the key to whether he can get out of trouble is Thunder.

William offered him and his 5,000 soldiers to join the Thunder on the condition that the Thunder make a move, and at a time when the British government-in-exile was gradually losing control of the overseas colonies, joining the Thunder was undoubtedly their best choice. Henry's family plans to convert their initial investment in Myanmar, and then discount 6% to Zhao Zhi in exchange for 10% of the shares of the Florida Weapons Laboratory, and Zhao Zhi wants to protect the Henry family's people to leave Myanmar and go to the United States smoothly and safely, and Zhao Zhi's relationship with the Lockman family is not a secret.

Ye Kong and Tang Lei are right, Thunder has the strength to enter Burma alone, in the agreement brought by Henry, William and his 5,000 British troops exist as internal should, but in fact, William's 5,000 British soldiers are squatting in the Japanese concentration camp at this time and fiddling with flowers and plants. Zhao Zhi has been operating in Burma for a year, and his familiarity with Burma is no less than that of the Henry family, as long as the Japanese army does not cut off the Yunnan-Burma road, and the Thunder armored vehicle cluster can fight through northern Burma within three days, with or without the British army, it will be the same result.

"Promise them, but the Henry family's share swap plan won't work, my weapons lab can't be faked, all the interests of the Henry family in Myanmar will go to Thunder as compensation for hiring us, and they will have to pay us another $500,000. And William and his 5,000 British soldiers will be the members of the British Legion of the Thunder Company, and after driving the Japanese into the sea, they will become the defenders of Burma" Zhao Zhi does not plan to modify the battle plan of Thunder's southward movement, with or without the appearance of Henry, it is imperative for Thunder to go south.

"The British are not as good as our militia in the war, so why do you have to pull them in?" Ye Kong didn't understand why Zhao Zhi would accept the 5,000 British troops who raised their hands and surrendered to the Japanese army, in his understanding, these arrogant and incompetent guys were not as good as the Zhangwu County militia unit that Han Sen had simply trained.

Although William's troops were weak, they were more than enough to deal with the Burmese, and the Burmese natives in the jungle were afraid of the big-nosed British. What Thunder wants is the stability of Burma, and only when Burma is stabilized can our arsenal in Kunming obtain a steady stream of raw materials and materials. Our own troops are still too small, and neither the United States nor the Nationalist government will let our troops sit idle in Burma, so stationing British troops in Burma is the best option."

Before Thunder went south, Zhao Zhi had already discussed with his close officers about the matter after the occupation of Burma, which seemed to others to be a very ridiculous and funny thing, but in Ye Kong's opinion, the Japanese division in Burma could only exist as a number on everyone's military merit book, as long as Thunder was willing, it was a sure thing to take Burma. "Okay, I'll go to Henry and talk about it, but you'd better meet him, people have come so far away, why should you, the master, show up" Seeing that the juice had made up her mind, Rowling got up and went to Henry to discuss the matter.

"No, absolutely not" Henry didn't expect Zhao Zhi to open his mouth, Henry's family's investment in Myanmar is not small, the new ironworks will be put into use in two months, and the crude oil produced by the expanded oil field will be processed every day, which is enough for Thunder to expand an armored corps and fighter troops, so much investment was actually offset by Zhao Zhi as a commission, if Henry agreed to this contract, when he returned to the United States, what was waiting for him would be the family's abandonment and reform.

"You go and talk to Zhao again, our family's investment in Myanmar is not a little bit of a star, you can't treat our request like this, this is not a gentleman's way of doing things and attitude" Henry was anxious, and there were some words that didn't match the words, in short, there was only one meaning in his words, seeing that the Henry family was in trouble now, Zhao Zhi asked for a price, not only did he eat the soup and meat cleanly, but now he even had to take away the pot of the master's house, Zhao Zhi's eating appearance was too ugly.

"Henry, this is what he means, and it is the final decision, you can think about it again, if you want to contact the United States, I can provide you with a radio station, I can't help you with the rest" Seeing Henry's reaction so strongly, Rowling had no choice but to leave with a smile, anyway, whether he promised or not, the Thunder would go south, but Henry didn't know the news.
