Chapter 47 Reorganization

Pang Tianpet's mentality, Pang Wenlan saw it very clearly, and the father and son formed a tacit understanding.

The arrival of Pang Jindong is the fresh blood of the Kokang Republican Army, which may bring impetus to make the Kokang Republican Army improve and get rid of the predicament of living in Changqing Mountain for decades.

Father and son are very relieved of Pang Jindong, on the one hand, because Pang Jindong has enough talent, and on the other hand, based on blood ties and national feelings, Pang Jindong's loyalty is no problem.

Pang Jindong figured this out, and he couldn't laugh or cry, he went to Changqing Mountain to visit relatives, but he somehow became the leader of an anti-government force.

On the surface, it seems to be very beautiful, but the blessings and misfortunes are also relied on, not to mention that Pang Jindong has become a thorn in the side of the MD government, I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble within the Kokang Republican Army.

Pang Tianxiao and Pang Tianbiao's family of people and horses have been purged, and they will gradually be driven away from the core of power, and it will no longer be a climate.

Now the ones who can cause internal trouble to Pang Jindong are the veterans of the Kokang Republican Army.

So far, Pang Jindong has not had direct contact with these veterans, and in a series of recent events, it is Pang Wenlan who has the idea, and they can only openly express their support, how dare they oppose it.

However, if the person who took the idea becomes Pang Jindong, it will be difficult to say.

After all, Pang Jindong has no qualifications in the Kokang Republican Army, is too young, and lacks affinity, so it is difficult to suppress the elders.

These people followed Pang Wenlan to fight the world back then, and at least they made great contributions to the Kokang Republican Army.

Now some are in power, and although some have taken a back seat, their influence in the military should not be underestimated.

For Pang Jindong, he can't afford to provoke him in public or private.

As soon as he thought of this, Pang Jindong had a deep headache, and it was estimated that these old guys would soon jump out against him.

In history, there are many people who were unwilling to go to high positions, but they were forcibly put on dragon robes.

A more famous example is Li Yu, who was originally a great literary scholar who became the last emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty part-time, and finally died tragically from the drug.

Recalling Ah Meng's murder and the shameless betrayal of the two uncles, Pang Jindong was not safe in Changqing Mountain, but he was afraid that it would be even worse in the future.

Li Yu can at least write "The old country is unbearable to look back at the bright moon", so that future generations can remember that there was such a lyricist as him, and tears of sympathy for him.

Pang Jindong thought about it, he really didn't seem to have this talent, but the Imperial Holding Group seemed to make some people remember him.

In the face of the situation in front of him, Pang Jindong really had nothing to do, thought about it, and finally realized the four-character mantra "What is love".

Pang Jindong was worried that Pang Tianxiao's death would leave a follow-up impact, but fortunately, the impact tended to be zero.

Relatives or grief, others have also sang, Pang Tianxiao's wife and children are still immersed in grief, but the attention of others is quickly diverted.

Soon, the 206th Regiment and the Kokang SAR Government surrendered one after another, and on the side of the 206th Regiment, a total of more than 1,110 people joined with all the weapons and equipment, and less than 300 chose to leave.

In contrast, the surrender of the Kokang SAR government and the Kokang National Democratic Alliance Army is much more complicated.

Peng Renhao's death was determined to be a heart attack, and it was announced to the outside world as soon as possible.

As Shen Peifu said before, after Peng Renhao's death, the Kokang SAR government and the allied army held a grand memorial ceremony, and many Kokang people left sad tears for him.

Shen Peifu spoke highly of Peng Renhao at the meeting, packaging this coward as a lifelong fighter for national dignity and freedom.

After taking care of the affairs of the most respectful aftermath, Shen Pei took over as chairman of the SAR and commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces.

Under the manipulation of Shen Peifu, the Kokang SAR government issued a statement condemning the 77th Division of the MD government army for conniving at soldiers to commit crimes in the Kokang SAR and mobilizing troops to attack Changqing Mountain, which undermined regional peace and stability, tore up the ceasefire agreement, and posed a serious threat to the lives and property of Kokang people and other ethnic groups.

The statement intriguingly praised the Kokang Republican Army, saying that Pang Wenlan had long defended the national interests and dignity of the Kokang people, maintained the situation of great unity among various ethnic groups, and forcefully countered the provocative actions of the MD government army.

This phenomenon is often the case in multi-ethnic countries, where ethnic minorities have natural hostility and vigilance towards the Juche ethnic group, and the higher the proportion of the Juche ethnic group in the total population, the stronger this hostility and vigilance becomes.

In particular, MD has experienced colonial rule and foreign aggression, and both colonizers and aggressors have spared no effort to stir up their ethnic relations, and with the effect of some historical factors, ethnic relations have deteriorated to the extreme.

The MD government and government army are basically composed of the Burmese, the main ethnic group, who do not know the times and pursue the Great Burmese nationalism, so the ethnic minorities are often wary.

As long as a single soldier of the MD government army steps into an ethnic minority area, it can cause trouble.

Historically, the reason for the all-out war between Shan State and the MD government was that the MD government sent troops into Shan State under the pretext of clearing out the remnants of the Chinese army who had entered the country illegally.

The 77th Division under the command of Thonglai has long been seen by the people of all ethnic groups for what they have done in the Kokang Special Administrative Region and even in the entire Shan State, and their dissatisfaction has accumulated for a long time.

Therefore, this statement by the Kokang SAR Government has not only won widespread support, but has also played a role in adding fuel to the fire.

Thinking of Peng Renhao's repeated forbearance and retreat from Tonglai, anyone who has a certain degree of political consciousness is keenly aware that the wind direction of the Kokang Special Economic Zone is about to change.

Sure enough, shortly after that, Shen Peifu issued his first order as the chairman of the SAR and the commander-in-chief of the Allied Forces.

The main content is that in order to strengthen peace and stability in the Kokang SAR and to counter some of the ambitionists of the MD government, the Kokang SAR government and the allied forces will merge with the Kokang Republican Army.

After the merger, the newly formed government will still be called the Kokang Special Administrative Region Government, but it will no longer adopt the title of Shan State Special Region 1 at the same time, with Sim Pei-fu as chairman and Pang Boon Lan as honorary chairman.

The official name of the armed forces under the SAR government is still the Kokang Republican Army, and the name of the Kokang National Democratic Alliance Army is no longer adopted, with Pang Tianzhong as commander-in-chief and Pang Jindong as deputy commander-in-chief.

If Peng Renhao knew about it, he would be surprised to find that Shen Peifu had done a lot of things behind his back over the years.

One of the most important is that a large number of cronies have been trained and placed in all important posts in the SAR government and the allied forces.

As for Peng Renhao's people, they were all skillfully adjusted.

Shen Peifu was not only clever in doing things, but also extremely patient, and it took a long time to slowly achieve his goal, and Peng Renhao didn't notice it at all.

As a result, Shen Peifu's decision was not opposed by the SAR government or the allied forces.

Some people who are still loyal to Peng Renhao, or who have dissenting opinions, also know that they are difficult to protect themselves now, so they all shut up.

However, in order to maintain internal stability and unity, most of the officials of the former SAR government and the allied forces have also made proper arrangements.

Some of them find themselves more powerful and influential than they used to be, and their salaries have improved.

The government and the military, which have doubled in size and number of people, have provided everyone with a broader space for development, and everyone has accepted this new situation.

As for the ordinary people, they have long been accustomed to seeing the constantly changing banner of the king at the head of the city, and they have no special feeling about this change.

As long as they can live a stable and happy life, they don't care who leads the government.

The new Kokang Republican Army is a combination of three forces, with different sources of soldiers and chaotic establishments, so it urgently needs to be reorganized, and this work is in charge of Pang Jindong.

Many people think that the integration of troops is very simple, but in fact it is very complicated, especially when dealing with multi-ethnic forces.

Pang Jindong also incorporated the three companies of the Blood Lion Legion, and the Kokang Republican Army, which already had international mercenaries, has now become a de facto multinational force.

This means that the first issue to consider is language, which fortunately is not difficult to solve.

Although each ethnic group has a mother tongue, as long as they grow up in multi-ethnic areas, they can speak more or less other ethnic languages.

These soldiers were generally from the Kokang and the Rolling Language, and because of the importance and influence of the Kokang people, the Kokang language, that is, Chinese, became the lingua franca.

But the Chinese they spoke was a dialect with a large number of locally formed vocabulary, and as a result, the Blood Lion Legion soldiers from northern China could not understand it at all.

The Blood Lion mercenaries speak Northern Mandarin and Mandarin, and although the Kokang Republican Army can roughly understand it, few can speak it.

Pang Jindong's countermeasure was to vigorously promote Mandarin Chinese among all ethnic groups, and soldiers were required to receive two hours of cultural education every day, of which at least one hour was in language.

The second problem is the relationship between officers and soldiers, because all officers and soldiers used to be superiors and subordinates to each other, and there will be some grievances.

Officers and men who are familiar with each other cooperate relatively well with each other, but when they are grouped together, they are easy to form factions.

However, if the reorganization is completely disrupted, there will be a process for forming combat effectiveness.

Speaking of which, there were originally factions within the Kokang Republican Army, such as the men and horses loyal to Pang Tianpet and Pang Tianxiao respectively.

If Pang Jindong can't handle this problem well, the faction of the new Kokang IRA may be more complicated.

The members of the old Republican Army, the 206th Regiment, and the Confederate forces were bound to be closer to their former counterparts, and there was a potential resistance to the other two, which still did not take into account the Blood Lion mercenaries.

This requires Pang Jindong to maintain a certain combat effectiveness while being able to completely disrupt the original staffing.

This kind of faction is based on their respective origins, and there is also a possible faction based on nationality, and this is the third problem that Pang Jindong needs to solve -- the ethnic issue.

There is not much contradiction between the various ethnic groups of the Kokang Republican Army, but it is not completely without problems.

If soldiers of the same nationality are grouped into a single unit, then the force will inevitably be very united, and it will be able to exert its maximum combat effectiveness, but it will be easier to form factions.

As long as there is a little friction within the Kokang Republican Army, any faction can rise up and pull it out to set up another mountain, and this kind of thing is endless in this chaotic country.

After thinking about it, Pang Jindong decided that he would rather have a temporary chaos than a long-term hidden danger, and could not leave any foundation that might form a faction.

In order to do his job best, Pang Jindong has been so busy with his feet hitting the back of his head for the past few days, forgetting the difference between day and night, and not caring about eating on time.

At the same time, Pang Jindong admired his uncle's foresight more and more, and he had been secretly communicating with Deqin Ba Dan for many years, and what was even more clever was that he had placed such an excellent undercover agent next to Peng Renhao - Shen Peifu.

The conscientious Shen Peifu has been working hard, relying entirely on his own talents to start from the grassroots until he is in his current position.

And he has always adhered to his ideals and beliefs and never given up, never had a negative and fearful feeling, let alone wavered and rebelled, this undercover agent has been doing it for more than 20 years.
