Chapter Fifty-Six: Reinforcements at Sea

The reputation of the Blood Lion Legion has long since spread in the underworld, and the pirates know very well that they are not capable of provoking it.

At this time, for the supreme commander of the ship, Isabel, was most concerned not with pirates, but with the future.

When she first received the order to help MD, Isabel was very excited, and after holding back at the Red Rock Valley base for several months, she finally had the opportunity to realize her dream and fight on the battlefield.

Before leaving, Milia made some explanations, and also provided relevant information and numbers, but they were not detailed enough.

Isabel, who was on the battlefield for the first time, didn't remember it until after going to sea and didn't know enough about this mission.

That is, as her understanding of Cheng DΓΉ deepened, her mood began to gradually decline, and finally fell to the bottom, because she was at a loss.

Isabel lay on the map for several days, surveying it with a compass and a ruler, and found that any landfall along the MD coast was quite far away from northern Myanmar, where Pang Jindong was located.

Forcing a landing without heavy fire cover would have been very risky, and even if it succeeded, Isabel would have been surrounded by MD government forces once she had the few forces she had at hand penetrated deep into the MD hinterland.

Even if she was lucky, Isabel could successfully escape the encirclement and suppression of the MD government army, and in the absence of modern transportation, she would trek on foot for such a long distance, and when she reached the battlefield, she was afraid that the battle would be over, not to mention that there was no food on the way.

Isabel stayed up all night, studying various sources, numbers, and maps, and devised a series of plans, only to be overturned by herself.

Eventually, Isabel threw everything to the ground and sat there sulking.

She didn't expect that the first time she commanded the troops to fight, she would take on such a task.

In fact, even if these problems can be overcome, the hundreds of people in Ququ will not play much role in this war.

In fact, Pang Jindong and Miria have already considered these problems, but they tacitly believe that these problems are not solved at all.

However, Pang Jindong took a small number of people into danger, and it was impossible for the Blood Lion Legion to sit idly by, so Isabel went on the Sea Pioneer.

In other words, Isabel's support army cannot be used at all, and can only provide psychological comfort to Pang Jindong.

Therefore, as soon as Isabel arrived in the South China Sea, Pang Jindong ordered her to stay put.

Isabel was complaining about Pang Jindong in her heart, when there was a gentle knock on the door, and she said in very stiff Chinese: "Come in!"

There is a problem that neither Pang Jindong nor Mi Liya expected, that is, the soldiers and officers who make up the reinforcements are all from country Z.

Isabel, the commander, is a native of the M country, and there is a language barrier between superiors and subordinates.

Fortunately, there are several Chinese-Americans in the military who can temporarily serve as interpreters.

After the soldiers have been learning English for a period of time, simple communication, asking for instructions, and reporting can still be done.

And Isabel has also studied Chinese for a while, and she can express the meaning clearly even if she stumbles.

Thus, the voyage life of the Sea Pioneer was like this, and Isabel and the officers and men were filled with pidgin mixed with English and Chinese.

The herald who came in was exactly 20 years old this year and came from the countryside of Hebei.

Before coming to the Blood Lion Legion, he had never been to any other place except for the village and county seat where he lived.

Isabel was the first foreign girl he had ever met since he came abroad, but he didn't dare to think anything wrong about this capable and sexy boss.

Compared to Milia, who is still somewhat amiable, Isabelle, who pulls out a gun and shoots indiscriminately at every turn, is simply a Caucasian dominatrix.

Looking at Isabel, whose face was full of clouds, the herald trembled and reported: "Report to the commander, the commander-in-chief's call!"

The herald's words were in Chinese, and although they were extremely brief, Isabel only understood the word "telephone".

Now the only person who can call is Pang Jindong, so Isabel didn't say a word and ran to the command room to answer.

"Isabel, are you alright?" Pang Jindong's voice seemed very relaxed, and he couldn't hear how nervous he was in the Kokang area now.

"It's alright!" Isabel couldn't help but be furious at the thought that she had been assigned such an impossible task.

If Pang Jindong was standing in front of him at this time, it was not impossible for her to pull out a gun and shoot.

It's a pity that Pang Jindong is the boss after all, and the respect and obedience to the boss is the minimum that a soldier should have.

Therefore, she had to suppress her anger, and said in a strange manner: "I think this mission should be carried out by Tomke Ruth!" After a pause, she added: "You really should consider pulling this big movie star who specializes in performing impossible tasks on the screen into the Blood Lion Army!"

Pang Jindong smiled, and didn't mind Isabel's complaints: "Where are you now?"

"Follow your orders, and go around Malacca!" With a sneer, Isabel asked, "Are you going to let us fight pirates here?"

"Of course not!" Pang Jindong smiled, and his tone suddenly became very solemn: "Now you immediately drive to Fangchenggang in Guangxi, country Z, and wait for our next order!"

"You're not going to let us land in Guangxi, are you?" Isabel could hardly believe her ears: "Most countries do not allow mercenaries from overseas to bring weapons into the country, including your motherland, you are doing this to cause war!"

"Just listen to my orders, I have my own arrangements!" Sighing, Pang Jindong said a little depressedly: "But before my next order is issued, don't get close to Fangchenggang, and pay attention to staying away from the defense line of the navy of country Z." ”

Let's talk about the Fourth District.

At this point, they were faced with three choices: to side with the Kokang IRA, to help the MD government, and to be neutral and indifferent.

If the second choice is made, it means that the Fourth Special Region, which has become a traitor, will be isolated by all the forces, and they are in the middle of several major forces, and they will definitely not be able to face such a situation.

Helping the alien against his own compatriots is also something that the leaders of the Fourth Special Region are unwilling to do.

What is particularly important is that with the MD government's style of unloading and killing donkeys, after successfully dealing with the Kokang Republican Army, it will still not let them go, and may even naturally annex them;

If the third option is made, then after the defeat of the Kokang Republican Army, the confident MD government will eliminate all the armed forces one by one, and all the relevant leaders may be eliminated, and the Fourth District will not be able to stand alone.

After weighing the pros and cons, you can only make the first choice, and this choice can only succeed and not fail.

Fortunately, Pang Jindong's words gave the Fourth Special Region a lot of confidence, prompting them to decide to stand up and defend their freedom.

Therefore, the day after Jiang Yaolong returned to the Fourth Special Region, Lin Jiwen sent news that he was willing to fully cooperate with the Kokang Republican Army.

This cooperation meant the merger of the Kokang SAR with the 4th SAR and the Kokang Republican Army with the Eastern Allied Army, and the leaders of the 4th SAR clearly knew that their own strength was too weak, so they only demanded high positions for themselves and did not try to dominate.

Of course, the Kokang government, which is eager to expand its strength, cannot be stingy and has Lin Jiwen as vice chairman of the SAR government and deputy commander-in-chief of the Kokang Republican Army, and Jiang Yaolong as the secretary general of the new SAR government.

With the addition of the Eastern Alliance Army and the general mobilization in the Kokang region, the total strength of the Kokang Republican Army rapidly swelled to four integrated divisions, totaling more than 40,000 men.

If you look at the numbers alone, the strength of the Kokang Republican Army is comparable to the number of troops invested by the MD government army at this stage, but in fact this is not the case.

Although the training and tactical skills of the MD government army are very poor, the Kokang IRA is now more of an ordinary person, and it is not as good as the MD government army.

Even more difficult to solve is the equipment, and suddenly with so many people, the Kokang Republican Army simply does not have enough weapons to equip it.

Pang Tianyi, who was in charge of logistics equipment, could no longer continue to wander leisurely at this time, and became gloomy all day long, he turned all the warehouses upside down, almost dug three feet into the ground, and sent all the weapons that could be collected to the front line, but it was still not enough.

Moreover, this is due to Pang Wenlan's foresight, and he has accumulated a lot over the years.

Pang Tianyi had no choice but to requisition weapons from the people, which barely ensured that the three and a half divisions had the most basic combat effectiveness.

Weapons can be said to be very widespread in northern Myanmar and the Golden Triangle region, but the model, performance and quality are very different, and it is okay to use them to rob homes and houses, and if you want to invest in a large-scale war, it is like installing a Jetta engine for Mercedes-Benz.

First and foremost, there is no way to guarantee the wide variety of spare parts and ammunition involved.

From ancient times to the present, whether it is broadsword, spear or machine gun tank, the weapons and equipment of the army have a common pursuit, that is, to be as standardized as possible.

Only in this way can the pressure on logistical support be reduced, and weapons will not be damaged if they are worn out.

As for the MD government, General Maung Aye, who originally thought that it would be easy to deal with these grass bandits, was now furious and set up the Eastern Theater of Operations, including the entire Shan State, in order to annihilate all the rebel forces in one fell swoop.

He personally served as the supreme commander of the theater of operations, and Thonglai served as deputy commander-in-chief.

Although Thonglai was unfavorable and repeatedly defeated, General Maung Aye still did not remove his brother-in-law, but took the opportunity to promote him.

For those who have a certain understanding of MD's internal affairs, it is not difficult to understand why Senior General Maung Ae is so persistent in seeking war.

Senior General Maung Aye is under one person and above 10,000 in the MD country, and the person above his head is Senior General Yu Dan, Chairman of the State Peace and Development Council and Commander-in-Chief of the National Defense Forces.

General Mata Dan is getting older, his physical condition is getting worse and worse, and his energy is getting less and less.

Although he was the leader of the military junta, he was not greedy for power, and had gradually delegated power to make some important decisions himself.

In this case, the question of succession then comes to the surface.
