Chapter 67: Chaos
Now Tang Cheng is no longer the ignorant teenager he used to be, since Mike can show him this thing, Tang Cheng already has a rough preparation in his heart, but after reading the content of the information, Tang Cheng is pale. "You mean it's possible that Stilwell will order us to attack New Plains? No wonder you brought me dozens of artillery and sappers, no wonder. Tang Cheng didn't want to believe that these were true, but the hesitation in Mike's eyes still made Tang Cheng understand.
"When I left, Stilwell hadn't made a final decision, but I've heard that this plan is likely to be very high, especially since the British are behind it, and I don't think the top brass of your army will refuse the British." Mike is a guy from an intelligence officer, and he has already memorized the analysis of intelligence, and although the inside line that helped him get this thing has not yet sent a clear answer, Mike has already found out the answer from it, and Stilwell's attitude and current shape are obviously unfavorable to Tang City.
"What about their weapons and equipment? Do you want them to follow us through the jungle with heavy gear? If that's the case, probably all of us will die in the jungle, and it's not like you haven't experienced what the jungle of Savage Mountain is all about. Tang Cheng, who was sitting in the driver's seat, did not drive, but turned his head to look at Mike sitting next to him, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at the supplies that the Indians were unloading from the train.
Following Tang Cheng's gaze, he glanced at the busy Indian porters, and McHaha smiled, "Tang, you are wrong, all that was unloaded on the train was the materials of the 38th Division, and the heavy weapons and equipment you lacked, when we got out of the forest, the flight team would give us an airdrop." I know no one can walk out of the woods with those heavy weapons and equipment, you don't have to worry about this, now drive, I can't wait to get to the tavern for a drink. ”
Mike vigorously patted Don Cheng on the shoulder and motioned to drive, but the latter had no choice but to drive the jeep to the Mook's bar in the town as Mike intended, and sure enough, Wallace was already waiting at Mook's bar. Tang Cheng has never gotten used to the habit of these big-nosed people who like to have a drink first when they do anything, and no matter what tricks need to be discussed between Mike and Wallace, Tang Cheng just drove up to the hospital by himself.
"Sir, I may need your help." Tang Cheng is a regular customer of the hospital, including the president, there is no one up and down the hospital who does not know Tang Cheng, as if he returned to his own barracks, Tang Cheng, who entered the hospital, went directly to the director of the hospital. "Rumgar has sent me dozens of reinforcements, and I need to borrow a few doctors from you to check on them. You know, my barracks have just been sanitized inside and out by your doctors, and I don't want anyone to come into my barracks with parasites. ”
Asking the dean to borrow a doctor to examine the body of the supplementary soldiers, this excuse was simply made up by Tang Cheng, his real purpose was just to get close to the dean, and then get some medicines from the dean that were in short supply compared to Kunming and return to his military camp. Cai Jincheng has always maintained contact with China, saying that in the black market in Kunming, drugs have long been the same price as guns, and often there is no market. Ledo Hospital, which was backed by the British army, was not short of medicines, and Tang Cheng asked for medicines from the old dean during this time, most of which were transported back to China by Cai Jincheng.
After chatting with the old man in the director's room for a while, and delivering a few small things from the Indian toast, when Tang Cheng left the hospital again, the back seat of the jeep was already filled with several boxes full of medicines. After opening one of the boxes and taking a rough glance, Tang Cheng, who had a smile in his eyes, waved at the old dean standing under the porch, and Shi Shiran drove away in his jeep. The British army had too many medicines in their hands to run out, Tang Cheng didn't feel that he was reselling military supplies, rather than watching these medicines expire until they were destroyed, it was better to ship them back to China for a few small dollars.
Tang Cheng hurried back to Mook's Tavern, and it was clear that some kind of agreement had been reached between Mike and Wallace, and Tang Cheng could tell some suspicion in the eyes of the two men occasionally looking at each other. "Tonight, Wallace will arrange for his cronies to send a batch of weapons and equipment to your barracks, so you don't have to ask so much, and you don't need to tell your men. The thing is only put for three days, and then Cai Jincheng will take someone to pull it away, and you will have 2% of the final income. Mike got into the car and only whispered a few words to Tang Cheng, then closed his eyes and didn't speak.
When Tang Cheng started the jeep, he subconsciously turned around and looked at Wallace who was standing at the door of the tavern, and found that the eyes of this thing were full of joy, and it was not until the evening that Wallace sent his people to send those things to the barracks, and Tang Cheng knew how bold Mike and Wallace were. "That's the deal you negotiated with Wallace? You're going to empty the British army's supply warehouse in Ledo, so you're not afraid of trouble from Lambgar's side? ”
Tang Cheng was dumbfounded when he saw the five truckloads of supplies in front of him, although Tang Cheng had always known that Wallace was secretly selling weapons to those Indian toasts, but he definitely didn't expect that Mike and Wallace's hands would be so big. Five truckloads of weapons and ammunition were enough to arm a battalion-sized army, and Wallace's soldiers stationed in Ledo were only one battalion, so didn't Wallace really emptied his reserve warehouse? Tang Cheng thought of these things, and a chill flashed across his back.
Compared to Tang Cheng's panic, Mike still looked unfazed, "These are just the first batch, before we leave Ledo, Wallace's side will bring three more batches of supplies of this amount." The British have been operating in India for many years, and there are many military warehouses here that even Wallace doesn't know, and besides, Wallace is about to be transferred out of the columns, so if you don't take this good opportunity to deal with these things that can only be buried in the ground and stare at rust, will you still cheapen the Indians in vain? ”
Wallace was about to transfer Ledo, but Tang Cheng didn't know about it, in fact, since the expeditionary force command decided to set up a training camp in Ramgarh, Stilwell had been asking the British army to get Ledo's control. Last year, because of the early retreat of the British army, the expeditionary force was defeated, and this incident has always made Stilwell very prejudiced against the British army, and it was time for a major counteroffensive.
"Just because Wallace is going to be transferred out of Ledo, so you conspired to sell these things? You're really bold enough, and if this were known from above, I think you would have enough heads for them to cut off. Although what Mike said just now was an understatement, Tang Cheng was still worried, not to mention his own side, it was Wallace's side that someone said that he had lost his mouth, and this matter might make Mike and Wallace lose their heads, and maybe it would affect themselves.
Mike chuckled, took out a cigarette and handed it to Tang Cheng, "This is not like you, but I know that the medicine you got from the hospital and poured back to Kunming is enough to cut off your head." If you'd seen the way the Lambgar people poured things back, you wouldn't be as worried as you are now, and we're just a little bit of a fight compared to them. Besides, these are the things we got for the British army, and there are no things for the expeditionary force, even if the matter is finally known, isn't there Wallace on top, you and I just have to count the money when the time comes. ”
Tang Cheng didn't know where Mike came from, and when he was about to run out of cigarettes, Mike whispered to Tang Cheng about the Wallace family's strength in the upper echelons of Britain. "You mean that Wallace's family is considered to be a high-ranking member of the British family, and can speak in front of the Empress?" Tang Cheng was dumbfounded, he never knew that Wallace, who could eat, drink and have fun when he looked at it, was actually a so-called British nobleman, so it seemed that this British Empire's aristocracy was not very good.
"You don't care if Wallace's title of nobility doesn't work, as long as you know that this matter has Wallace's participation, it is foolproof. Not to mention Ramgar's side, even the Supreme Commander of the British Army in India has no way to take him, and if the matter is revealed, the most he can do is to transfer Wallace back to the mainland. When he took the money, he took the lion's head, and he naturally asked him to come forward when something happened, and it has nothing to do with us. Hearing Mike's words, Tang Cheng suddenly felt a little sorry for Wallace, this thing may not know that he has been calculated by Mike.
Mike, who was secretly smug in his heart, rolled his eyes, and Tang Cheng turned back to his room, and then shouted at Mike through the window. "I'm just a little captain, and I'm still a captain who is not well received, and as for these things you get, I don't want to know what they are, and you don't tell me what they are, anyway, when the time comes, just have my share, and the rest has nothing to do with me." Tang Cheng smiled smugly at Mike through the window, then closed the window and went to sleep.
Tang Cheng's interest made Mike laugh, and secretly praised the children raised by Robert for being different, and their brains turned quickly. Things were put into storage, and when they got up early the next day, Tang Cheng and Mike had a very tacit understanding, and neither of them mentioned last night's incident. The same thing continued for three more nights, until the three warehouses in the Tang City barracks could not fit up, and Mike called a halt, but Wallace had never been to the Tang City barracks once.
Tang Cheng originally thought that Mike and Wallace were already the craziest people, but he didn't expect that when Cai Jincheng came to Ledo, he would see what madness was. Cai Jincheng was ordered to receive this batch of things with a warrant from the Lamgara Command, and with this warrant, Cai Jincheng could directly mobilize a train wagon from Ledo Station to transport this batch of materials, as for how these materials were transported back to China, it was Cai Jincheng's business.
