After hearing the news, Thonglai didn't say a word, but stared at the herald with wide eyes, as if he couldn't believe what he had just said.

The poor herald stood trembling under Thonglai's fierce gaze, sweating in a sweat, speculating about what he was going to do.

After a long time, the corners of Tonglai's mouth twitched a few times, and his expression instantly became depressed, and he sighed: "It's all my fault......"

As soon as the herald heard that Tong Lai had taken the initiative to take responsibility, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time immediately relieved: "Colonel, don't say that, your plan was originally flawless......

"No!" Tong Lai shook his head slowly, interrupting the herald's words, "After discovering that Changqing Mountain is an empty city, I should immediately order them to retreat, instead of waiting for reinforcements...... It's all my desire to win!" Speaking of this, Tong Lai's right hand was tightly clenched into a fist, slammed on the table, and scolded through gritted teeth: "Pang Wenlan, this old fox, sooner or later, one day, I will peel off his fox skin!"

The herald couldn't decide whether he should say something like "Colonel, don't be angry, it's a big injury!", but in the end he decided not to say it, but asked for instructions: "Reinforcements have arrived on the outskirts of Changqing Mountain, what should we do next?"

"Don't attack for the time being, use the artillery they carry, and bombard Changqing Mountain for me!" Tong Lai said, slamming another punch on the table.

Pang Wenlan likes to slap the table, while Tonglai likes to beat the table, and this nuance in behavior is based on the different personalities of the two people.

But the two opponents also have one thing in common: they are equally sophisticated.

In fact, Tong Lai believed in his heart that there was one person who should be held responsible for the total annihilation of the troops attacking Changqing Mountain, and that was the commander of the reinforcements he sent.

Thonglai had long been dissatisfied with the commander because he was too cowardly and timid.

In Tonglai's eyes, he is simply a gentle little white rabbit, and he is also a typical example of the opposite of a soldier.

If it weren't for the fact that the commander had some influence in the army, Thonglai would have found an excuse to shoot him to death.

Thong Lai decided to send a light force, with the cooperation of Burmese soldiers from the Kokang Republican Army, to launch a tentative attack on Changqing Mountain, and then use a heavy force to provide fire support on the periphery.

It would be best if it could be won, otherwise, there would not have been much loss of personnel and equipment, and light forces would facilitate the retreat.

It is very unfortunate that of all the heavy forces, the unit to which this commander belongs is the closest to Changqing Mountain.

Tonglai was originally very reluctant, but he had no choice but to send him into battle.

As expected, the commander's style of action did not change at all, and he was looking forward and backward along the way, fearing wolves and tigers, and sneaking slowly like a snail.

After guessing that Changqing Mountain might be a trap, Tonglai immediately issued an order to speed up the march, but he found all kinds of excuses, that is, he did not carry it out.

As a result, by the time the commander arrived at Changqing Mountain, the battle had already ended, and the Kokang Republican Army was busy liquidating Pang Tianxiao and Pang Tianbiao's mutiny.

Tonglai calculated that even if he sent troops from a long distance, he would arrive at Changqing Mountain before that.

The crux of the matter is that if this commander had arrived earlier, the advance force might not have been defeated so badly, and it might have helped consolidate the occupation of Changqing Mountain, and might even have severely damaged or even completely annihilated the main force of the Kokang Republican Army......

There are so many possibilities that the only thing Thonglai is thinking about now is what to do to shoot the little white rabbit.

It's just that Tonglai didn't say it in front of the heralds, so as not to leak it out and disturb the morale of the army.

Many MD soldiers have no loyalty to the country at all, and the commander is currently commanding troops to fight on the front lines, and if he knows that Thonglai has an opinion about him, it is not impossible to turn against him.

"In any case, this little white rabbit already has a forward position after all, and now it should send reinforcements over immediately......" Tonglai spoke in a low voice, as if he were talking to himself and to the herald, "But who to send?"

The herald stood there and didn't dare to come out, let alone put forward any proposals, but waited for Tonglai to make his final decision.

Tong Lai pondered for a moment, slowly got up from his chair, but suddenly sat back and ordered the herald: "Call Peng Renhao to me immediately!"

Pang In-ho, the chairman of the MD Shan Special Region 1 – also known as the Kokang Special Zone – represents all Kokang people, is a man who is committed to his achievements.

His greatest ideal, and only wish, is for the Kokang region to maintain the status quo, that is, the Kokang people continue to have a high degree of autonomy and reject the interference of the MD government, but at the same time firmly oppose Kokang independence.

In fact, Peng Renhao knows very well in his heart that his ideal faces two huge threats, one is Pang Wenlan, and the other is Tonglai.

These two people not only belong to two opposing forces, but there is another difference for Peng Renhao, he doesn't care about Pang Wenlan, but he is afraid of Tonglai.

The reason why this is so is because, on the one hand, Peng Renhao inherited the fine tradition of Chinese people who are good at infighting, and on the other hand, because these two people threatened him differently.

After years of turmoil, "peace and development" has become the pursuit of the majority of the most courageous people, and under such circumstances, Pang Wenlan, who has insisted on refusing to give up the ideal of freedom for many years, does not dare to act rashly.

More importantly, Changqing Mountain is under the rule of the Kokang SAR government, and the supply of the Kokang Republican Army needs to be obtained through the Kokang area, and the drug smuggling network has to pass through here, and Peng Renhao rules the entire Kokang region after all.

This is equivalent to that the lifeline of the Kokang Republican Army is in the hands of Peng Renhao, and Peng Renhao can completely blockade the Kokang Republican Army when necessary.

Therefore, although the Kokang Republican Army does not obey the Kokang SAR government above the name, Pang Wenlan has to follow Peng Renhao's opinions in many aspects.

The 77th Division under his command has nearly 10,000 troops, covering the interior and periphery of the Kokang region, while the Kokang National ** Alliance Army of the Kokang Special Administrative Region Government has only more than 2,000 troops.

This means that Thonglai's ability to take over the entire Kokang region is nothing more than a legitimate excuse.

In addition, Tonglai also controls the rolling, which is also a heart problem of Peng Renhao and even all the Kokang people.

Historically, it was part of the Kokang region and was inhabited by tens of thousands of Kokang people, but now it is not under the jurisdiction of the Kokang Special Administrative Region, but is directly subordinate to the MD government.

Although there is a huge disparity in strength between the Kokang SAR government and the MD government, the MD government does not dare to act rashly in Kokang, whether based on practical considerations or under pressure from the outside world.

But this is not the case in Rolling Lane, where the MD government wants to clean up the Chinese there, and it hardly needs any reason.

The Kokang people of the Kokang Special Administrative Region and the Kokang people of the rolling Kokang are of the same culture and species, and are linked by blood, and the safety and survival of the Kokang people is a serious issue that the Kokang SAR government must consider.

In addition, Peng Renhao's fear of Tonglai also has personality reasons.

In the face of the strong and fierce Tonglai, he is cowardly and has only the share of promises.

After receiving the call and knowing that Tonglai was looking for him, Peng Renhao did not dare to delay for a moment, and came to the division headquarters of the 77th Division. Before his ass could sit firmly in the chair, Tonglai slammed his head and faced, accusing: "It's all your good work!"

"Are you looking for me?" Hearing Tonglai's words, Peng Renhao was a thriller at that time, and his ass immediately left the chair, but he didn't stand up and maintained a posture similar to that of a woman's urine.

This is really a very difficult thing for him with a big belly.

Tonglai sneered and reiterated: "Of course you are the one who should be responsible for Kokang!"

Peng Renhao tried his best to calm down, and then asked cautiously: "I don't know what I did to make Master Tonglai so angry?"

"The Kokang Republican Army men murdered the soldiers of the MD government for no reason, and when I sent people into the mountains to arrest criminals, they actually set up an ambush, and our army suffered great losses .......!" Tong Lai thought for a while, and did not say that his troops were actually completely wiped out, but only used words like "great losses" to mention them in one stroke.

In fact, Peng Renhao knows all these things, but he can only pretend not to know, otherwise he will inevitably appear incompetent as the chairman of the SAR.

Tonglai knew that Peng Renhao knew, but he pretended not to know that Peng Renhao knew, and told the whole story of the matter to increase the deterrence against Peng Renhao.

Peng Renhao sighed and said helplessly: "Commander Tonglai knows that although I am the chairman of the SAR by name, the Kokang Republican Army does not obey me at all......

"Fortunately, you haven't forgotten your identity...... Tonglai interrupted Peng Renhao's words impatiently: "Since this is the case, why don't you eliminate such a *** armed force in your jurisdiction?"

When Peng Renhao heard this, he suddenly secretly complained in his heart: "In the past few decades, from the MD government to various forces, no one has been able to do anything about the Kokang Republican Army, if I, Peng Renhao, have that ability, I still need to listen to you here to train me like a grandson? Not to mention that you have never ordered me to destroy them! Besides, you already know what the Kokang Republican Army is all about, why don't you do it yourself?"

Peng Renhao only dared to think about these words in his heart, but he could only find an excuse to excuse himself: "It's not that I haven't thought of a way, but those guys are too cunning......"

Tonglai interrupted Peng Renhao's words for the second time, but his tone softened a little: "I still have a certain understanding of the Kokang Republican Army, although you didn't bring them to justice, I can't blame you completely......"

Peng Renhao let out a long breath: "Master Tonglai Mingjian......"

"It's just ......" Tong Lai smiled slyly, and said slowly: "The material supply of the Kokang Republican Army, the trafficking of drugs, etc., all need to be carried out through the Kokang area, why don't you cut it off?"

Peng Renhao does have this ability, and he used this ability in exchange for Pang Wenlan's forbearance of him.

But this kind of thing is like a nuclear weapon, you can put it there to scare people, but you can't really use it.

Although for many Kokang people, the political concept of the Kokang Republican Army is somewhat extreme, and most of the Kokang people who yearn for a peaceful and stable life are not willing to follow them.

However, this does not mean that the Kokang Republican Army is isolated among the Kokang people, on the contrary, there are many people who sympathize with and even support them, including officials of the SAR government and officers of the Kokang National Alliance.

If Peng Renhao forcibly blockades the Kokang Republican Army, then the result will be that he will be isolated within the SAR government, a situation that he simply does not want to see if he wants to be the chairman of the SAR with peace of mind.

However, even if Peng Renhao wanted to continue with the status quo, the reality would not allow him to do so.

After pondering for a long time, he nodded helplessly, and told Sù Tonglai: "I'll go back and make arrangements!" With that, he simply stood up completely.

Thonglai waved his hand: "No need!"

This sentence made Peng Renhao relax suddenly, sat down on the chair with a "poof", let out a sigh, and asked, "What does Colonel Tonglai mean ......?"

"If it had been twenty-four hours ago, there would have been a value in doing this, but now there is no ......" Tong Lai sneered again, and explained his words in detail, which made Peng Renhao's nerves tense again: "Originally, we could have put pressure on the Kokang Republican Army to submit to the MD government in this way. However, what they are doing now is tantamount to openly declaring war on the government. Such bandits can only be eliminated. ”

"Yes...... Is it......" Peng Renhao sat there stupidly, not knowing what to say.

"Since the incident happened in the area under the jurisdiction of your SAR government, I hope that the SAR government can do what it should do!" After a pause, Thonglai said with a pun: "The government army will not intervene, so as not to accuse us of sabotaging the peace agreement and the autonomy of the Kokang region." ”

Peng Renhao jumped up from the chair as if he was electrocuted.

But before Peng Renhao could open his mouth, Tong Lai continued, with a warning in his tone: "If you think that you are incompetent as the chairman of the Special Administrative Region...... " Tong Lai put away his cold smile and said word by word: "I can consider a replacement!"

When Tonglai's words landed, Peng Renhao sat back in his chair weakly, looking blankly and blankly.

Looking at Peng Renhao's appearance, Tonglai smiled without scruples, smiling proudly.
