Mandalay City is the capital of Mandalay Province in North Myanmar and the capital of the Democratic Federal Republic of North Myanmar.

Once the second largest city in Myanmar, it is now the number one city, with a registered long-term population of more than 3 million, and is the political, economic, military, transportation and cultural center of the Democratic Federal Republic of Northern Burma.

Mandalay's urban construction and economic development is actually a microcosm of the whole of Northern Myanmar.

Driven by Tiangong International Group, a large amount of foreign capital has poured into North Burma, including a large number of Taiwanese businessmen and industrialists. The speed of development is not inferior to that of the southeast coastal cities of mainland China.

The 1st Mechanized Division of the North Burma People's Army was the first to receive training and reorganization from the Panshi mercenaries, and made great achievements in the North Burma Liberation War. Whether it is the military quality of the officers and men, or the weapons and equipment, they are the best among the 300,000 North Burma People's Army.

As the Great Wall of Steel defending the capital, the 1st Mechanized Division of the North Burma People's Army not only represents the image of the North Burmese soldiers, but also represents the image of the country. For a long time, it has been highly concerned by domestic and foreign media.

Before the Northern Burmese People's Army was reorganized by the Panshi mercenaries, the object of study had always been the Chinese People's Liberation Army in the early seventies. Its weapons and equipment, military uniform styles, and password regulations all have the shadow of the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

After the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA) completely defeated the Vietnamese-South Army, which claimed to be the third largest military power in the world, the major armed forces in northern Burma became more aware of the trend of learning from the Chinese army.

In the process of reorganizing the Northern Burmese People's Army, Qiu Fang and Yang Jiasheng not only did not abandon this style. On the contrary, it is further strengthened. In Yang Jiasheng's original words, there is no shame in learning to imitate the Chinese army, because the Chinese army is the strongest army in the world, and even the US Army and the Soviet Army are not opponents of the Chinese Army.

On the design of the new military uniform of the Northern Burmese People's Army, Qiu Fang consulted Yang Weiping's opinion. Yang Weiping told Qiu Fang at the time that he would directly take the Type 81 military uniform of the Chinese People's Liberation Army in service as a model, and make slight changes to the general's emblem, armband, rank and color.

Regarding Yang Weiping's opinion, Yang Jiasheng naturally would not object.

Officers and men of the KPA did not have ceremonial uniforms, regular uniforms or training uniforms in the past. Basically, there are only three sets of military uniforms for each person, which are both regular and training uniforms. Now it's okay, from panties to socks. It's all new inside and out. Putting on a formal dress or regular clothes and walking out of the barracks, compared to the previous dull grass-green canvas military uniform, I don't know how to throw out a few streets.

In particular, after the whole army has put into use the field logistics support system, the morale of all officers and men has been even stronger. The spirit of the army is unprecedentedly cohesive. Join the army as a soldier. It has become the most popular occupation in the minds of people of all ethnic groups in northern Burma.

Ride into the barracks of the 1st Division. Seeing the neat and clean camp environment along the way, and the three of them became soldiers in a column on the road, Yang Weiping suddenly gave birth to a familiar sense of intimacy.

In particular, I saw that the walls of the camp could be seen everywhere with the eye-catching slogan "politically qualified, militarily competent, excellent work style, strict discipline, and strong support" written in English. Yang Weiping couldn't help laughing.

"I said Sister Fang, can they understand what it means to be politically qualified?" Yang Weiping pointed to the slogan painted on the wall of the barracks outside the car window, and asked with a smile.

"Of course I understand!" Qiu Fang rolled her eyes proudly at Yang Weiping, and then smiled at Yang Xinru who was next to her: "Xinru, you tell him." ”

Yang Xinru looked at Yang Weiping with a serious expression and said: "Being politically qualified means firmly believing that the interests of the country and the people are above all else, adhering to the absolute leadership of the country's supreme leader over the army, and being loyal to the leader, the motherland, and the people. Support the ideology, line, and principles of the supreme leader; be pure in ideology and morality, advocate science, and oppose superstition; love the army and practice martial arts, and faithfully perform their duties!"

"Who is the supreme leader of the country?" Yang Weiping put away his smiling face and asked with a straight face.

"Of course it's you!" Yang Xinru replied without thinking about it: "The real creator of the Northern Burmese People's Army and the founder of the Rock Mercenary, Mr. Yang Weiping!"

"Me?" Yang Weiping pointed to his nose with obvious surprise and asked, "They have never seen me, is this appropriate?"

"Nothing out of place. Qiu Fang smiled and said, "Supreme Leader, of course, you have to maintain a certain sense of mystery. All the officers and men of the Northern Burmese People's Army knew that the clothes and food they wore were given to them by the supreme leader.

They knew that their supreme leader had been running around the world in order to give them access to the best weapons and equipment and the best logistical support. They knew that the reason why they were able to defeat the South Burmese army, end the civil war, and allow the people to live a happy and healthy life was because of the wise leadership of the Supreme Leader. ”

"Actually, you don't have to doubt it. Yang Xinru looked at Yang Weiping very seriously and said: "In addition to the army, the government officials of the provinces and states of Northern Burma all know that you are the real head of the Yang family in Northern Burma. This point is well known even to the governments of various countries in the world.

Before the Rock mercenaries came to Myanmar, the armed forces of the various tribes in northern Myanmar were actually scattered. Many armies even rely on the cultivation of opium and drug trafficking to finance their military expenditures. Almost all tribal armies lacked heavy weapons and did not even have adequate ammunition reserves.

If it weren't for the disunity within the government army at that time, I am afraid that they would have been wiped out by the government army long ago. Like now, we not only have tanks and armored vehicles, but also formed army aviation units and aircraft carrier fleets of the air force and navy. Advanced weaponry and equipment, sufficient logistical supplies, and full monthly salaries are paid, and there is never any deduction in arrears. And now, it's all a reality.

Three years ago, I had heard about your name and all sorts of rumors and deeds about you. At that time, I often wondered what kind of person you were. The Yang family in northern Myanmar, when did you come out with such a legendary figure who can call for wind and rain in the world?"

"Are you a little disappointed after seeing me?" Yang Weiping asked as he looked at Yang Xinru with a smile.

Yang Xinru shook her head lightly and replied a little shyly: "No, you are even better than I imagined." ”

While speaking, the convoy drove into the compound of the 1st Division.

The commander, deputy division commander, chief of staff, and other commanders of the First Division, who had already received the notice, were already waiting in line under the porch of the division headquarters building.

Peng Xuebing, commander of the First Mechanized Division of the North Burmese People's Army, was the former captain and company commander of a unit of the 41st Group Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and participated in many major wars in the Vietnam War. After the war, he could have been promoted to one level and stayed in the army, but because his personality was too upright, he offended the son of a high-ranking cadre in the military region, and not only did he not get promoted, but he was forced to retire from the army by his superiors.

Peng Xuebing was angry, and after leaving the army, he resolutely chose to participate in the selection of the Panshi mercenaries, and joined the Panshi after passing the strict assessment of the Panshi mercenaries with his excellent military quality. Three years ago, he came to Myanmar with the first batch of Rock mercenaries who entered Myanmar to fight.

In the rock, there is no bureaucracy, no need to slap the horse. As long as you have the ability, you can get the corresponding position and generous treatment. Peng Xuebing was like a fish in water among the rock mercenaries, fighting tenaciously and bravely, leading the People's Army troops to victory after victory. While receiving generous commissions and bonuses, he also won the respect and trust of the officers and men of the local army.

When the Panshi mercenaries were diverted to join the North Burmese People's Army for a major reorganization, Peng Xuebing was appointed as the commander of the First Mechanized Division by Qiu Fang and Yang Jiasheng with his irreplaceable military exploits and excellent command skills, and carried the general star he dreamed of.

When the Chinese army participated in the war against Vietnam, Peng Xuebing heard the name of Yang Weiping, director of the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense. Zhilu Dao Type 81 military uniform, Type 81 gun clan, and field logistics support system were all developed under the leadership of Director Yang, and he has always been full of admiration for this great chief who has only heard of his name but has no chance to know him.

After being forcibly demobilized and retired, he also heard that the Panshi Mercenary was a world-class military force established by Director Yang overseas, so he decided to sign up for the election.

The Rock mercenaries entered Burma to fight, and Peng Xuebing vaguely felt that this was not an ordinary mercenary commission. It is very likely that Panshi wants to establish a foothold in Asia and establish an Asian base. He knew that this was likely to be his chance to get ahead in his career as a professional soldier. Therefore, since entering Burma and starting to fight, he has shown more enthusiasm and hard work than everyone else.

It turns out that in Rock, as long as you are willing to pay, you will definitely get the corresponding reward.

From the moment he was appointed as the commander of the First Mechanized Division of the Northern Burmese People's Army, Peng Xuebing was looking forward to the opportunity to get the founder of the Rock Mercenary, the real creator of the Northern Burmese People's Army, the legendary Baron John Yang, the richest Chinese man in the world, and also the director of the China Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense.

As a senior commander of the Northern Burmese People's Army, Peng Xuebing certainly knows who is the real controller of the Northern Burmese government and the Northern Burmese People's Army. Without this behind-the-scenes master, it would have been impossible for many middle- and high-ranking Chinese officers in the North Burmese People's Army to join the North Burmese nationality without giving up their Chinese nationality.

Peng Xuebing knew that now in the North Burmese People's Army, there are many comrades-in-arms like him who were once unsuccessful in the Chinese army, and their life goals and values have been realized here. They are more eager than the local officers and soldiers of the Northern Burmese People's Army to be received by Mr. Yang, the true supreme leader of Northern Burma.

Today, this rare honor and rare opportunity has finally come!

Seeing the convoy composed of two military Land Rovers and three Mercedes-Benzes slowly stopping, Peng Xuebing couldn't help but clench his fists, then looked down at the military uniform on his body, forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and asked the brigadier officer beside him in a low voice: "Chief of Staff Wu, you can help me take a look again, there is nothing untidy about my military uniform, right?"

"My teacher, this is the fifth time you've asked me, why did you suddenly become more troublesome than a woman today. Chief of Staff Wu looked at the convoy without squinting and said in a low voice.

"It's different today!It's Mr. Yang who came!" Peng Xuebing said solemnly while lowering his head and pulling the corners of his military uniform.

"Being told by you makes me a little nervous now. Chief of Staff Wu rolled his eyes and glanced at Peng Xuebing. (To be continued......)
