Chapter 121: After the Rainy Season Ends

Pang Jindong nodded vigorously: "I understand."

"Since you have withstood the test after all, I can be relieved that you have lived up to your friend's request. ”

"You mean Renyette?"

"There is another one, you can guess who it is......" Clara smiled indifferently and shook hands with Pang Jindong: "I still have something to do, I wish you success!"

"Thank you!"

Even if Clara didn't say who this friend was, Pang Jindong could guess it, so he didn't ask.

After saying goodbye to Clara with gratitude, Pang Jindong did not delay for a moment and immediately flew back to country Z.

After Pang Jindong returned to country Z, he learned that this issue of "high-end interview wèn" received a great response, and it is said that many people in country M were in front of the TV and were moved to tears by Pang Jindong's last words.

The hazy attitude of Western society towards the Kokang War suddenly became clear, and rallies and marches took place in many cities in support of the Kokang people fighting for their freedom.

Some people even began to organize donations and remit them to the Southeast Asian Chinese Association.

Renez played an important role in these events, and after finishing the filming of the new film, she devoted a lot of time and energy to the Kokang Republican Army.

Not only did she organize a rally in front of the United Nations to shout for the freedom of the Kokang people, but she also donated $10 million and used it to raise money from others.

Renenez used her enormous influence to the fullest, not only using every opportunity to promote the Kokang Republican Army to her fans, but even asking every friend she met: "Did you know that ethnic massacres are taking place in the Kokang region?"

In addition to Renenez, there are people who are secretly pushing this qiē, and this impetus comes from the top of country M.

The day after Pang Jindong finished his "high-end visit" program, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of country M issued a statement on the Kokang war, which used language such as "Kokang people's yearning for freedom should be respected."

Although the statement appears to be neutral on the surface, anyone can see that this wording implies that country M supports the Kokang Republican Army.

Almost at the same time as the statement of country M, the foreign affairs department of country Z also issued a statement in which the issue of Kokang regional independence was ambiguous, but it severely condemned the ethnic persecution and massacre of the MD government.

This time, on the issue of the Kokang War, the East and the West reached an unprecedented agreement.

At present, the only countries in Southeast Asia that explicitly support the MD government are the countries in Southeast Asia, and even though they have low IQs, they can clearly feel the change in the direction of international public opinion.

As a result, they changed the previous hustle and bustle, and one by one they were all silent.

Although there are occasional remarks in the media that are unfavorable to the local Chinese, the government has strictly suppressed possible signs of disadvantage for the Chinese.

In fact, even if they are willing to speak out, it will not have much impact, because they have no say in the international community.

In contrast to this reticence, the recent intensive visits by senior leaders of Southeast Asian countries to countries are all about discussing bilateral cooperation in various aspects, but everyone knows that the real purpose is to try to find out what kind of policy country Z will implement towards the Chinese in Southeast Asia.

Pang Jindong's analysis and judgment on this is that the Southeast Asian countries are only temporarily patient under the uncertain prospects, because they do not know what the Kokang War will make the Chinese, so they should formulate policies to treat the Chinese according to the development of the war.

If the Kokang IRA fails, most of these countries will immediately break out against the Chinese in order to eradicate the same situation in their own countries.

If the Kokang Republican Army is victorious, it becomes difficult to speculate what these countries will do next, and the former may still exist, but it is more likely that they will adopt a policy of softness in fear of the power of the Chinese.

This also means that the development of the Kokang War to this day is no longer just a problem for the Kokang people and other MD Chinese, but a matter of the Chinese in the entire Southeast Asian region, and even affects the relationship between country Z and Southeast Asian countries.

The cause of the incident was just that Pang Wushuang met two ruffians, which detonated a feud and evolved into what it is today.

The MD government, which was determined to wipe out the Kokang Republican Army, suddenly realized that it had been completely isolated in the international community.

However, any totalitarian government usually has two extremes in its foreign policy: one is to squeeze internally, export interests abroad, and even sell the country to seek glory in exchange for the support of other countries for their own savings;

The other extreme is usually because of being criticized too much, simply breaking the jar and breaking it, doing whatever you want behind closed doors, never caring what others say.

The MD government was supposed to belong to the latter group, but when the country could be divided, the junta had to start caring about international public opinion.

The government's generals traveled everywhere, trying to win the support of neighboring countries, although they did not expect to persuade the international community to turn to sympathy for them.

However, in exchange for all they got was disappointment again and again, and only a few countries in Southeast Asia privately promised to give a certain amount of financial and material support, among which the strongest support was the stalwart Indonesia.

Recalling the systematic persecution of the Chinese in '98 and before, the Indonesian government and its indigenous population were very worried that the Chinese would retaliate, and considering the huge economic power and population base of the Chinese, as well as the growing power of the country Z behind it, this fear became stronger as the Kokang War continued.

This means that Indonesia is the least likely to want Kokang independence, because it is entirely conceivable that something similar would happen to them if the Kokang IRA wins.

Just as all sides were running for their own ends, the rainy season finally came to an end, and the two sides, who had been fighting for a decisive battle, finally fought again in this land that had been ravaged by war.

At this time, the Kokang Republican Army was no longer the drug trafficking armed force that occupied the mountain, and with the planning of Pang Jindong and the help of the military advisory group of country Z, it had a strict, scientific and efficient establishment and corresponding organizational structure, and the command system and strict military discipline were also established.

The armed forces have a total of 120,000 soldiers and are organized into 12 divisions, of which 11 divisions are integrated into three group armies, and the other independent division is the mercenary unit of the Blood Lion Legion.

In addition, there is a strategic reserve of 30,000 people, which is usually engaged in logistics work and labor production, and can be quickly integrated into the active force when necessary.

This also means that any unit that suffers heavy losses can be quickly replenished.

There has been a qualitative leap in weaponry, with various types of tanks, armored vehicles, and light and heavy artillery from country Z giving the Kokang Republican Army a powerful firepower, and an army aviation regiment formed by the Apache is something that the MD government army neither has nor can cope.

It must be mentioned that Yang Jiawei, who has not been heard from since he went to Kachin State, finally returned at this time.

And he didn't come back alone, he also brought more than 2,000 mountain soldiers with him.

When Yeo Ka Wai went to Kachin State, he was keenly aware that this was a rare opportunity.

So, he used his family connections to fight left and right, and finally eliminated the opposition and unified the entire Kachin State.

Now Yang Jiawei is the chairman of Kachin State, and he has brought the Kachin People's Army, the armed force of Kachin State, to help in the war.

However, although the Kachin State under Yang Jiawei has only one army, the local government is still in a state of de facto fragmentation, and does not have a tight administrative system and control over each locality like the Kokang government.

Almost without any objection, Yang Jiawei's mountain soldiers were incorporated into the Kokang Republican Army and formed into a Kachin Brigade.

In the pouring rain, the MD government forces were busy dealing with a sneak attack by the Kokang Republican Army (IRA), which could be launched at any time, while building fortifications, replenishing ammunition and supplies, and preparing for a decisive battle with the Kokang Republican Army.

Although they would like to be kept abreast of the movements of the Kokang Republican Army, they do not have the capacity and opportunity to do so.

The lack of capability is due to the fact that the MD government forces do not understand the local environment in Kokang and are unable to gain the support of the local population due to years of ethnic repression;

The lack of a chance is due to the fact that the Kokang IRA has done a good job of secrecy, and the small surprise attacks launched without interruption have left the MD government forces with no way to distract themselves.

It was not until after the resumption of the war that the MD government forces suddenly discovered that the combat effectiveness of the Kokang Republican Army had increased several times.

As soon as the two sides exchanged fire, the MD government collapsed, and several divisions deployed around Kokang were basically defeated, and the armor was lost.

In this case, there was a disagreement between Pang Jindong and Shen Peifu about the next strategic plan.

Shen Peifu believes that he should take advantage of the victory to pursue and completely defeat the MD government army, so that the MD government will not dare to enter the Kokang area again.

Pang Jindong believed that it was necessary to take advantage of the situation to attack the Second and Third Special Regions, first unify the entire Shan State, and then strengthen the ruling base to outline the outline of independence.

In order to be able to implement his plan, Pang Jindong did a lot of work, and persuaded every senior executive through a large number of telephone conversations, and finally won the approval of the majority of the people and was able to implement it smoothly.

Pang Jindong knew very well that this approach would inevitably make Shen Peifu dislike himself, but he had to do so, because this was the best choice at the moment.

Although the MD government army was defeated, the main force was still there, and once it was concentrated, even the current Kokang Republican Army would not be able to fully confront it.

Considering that it is impossible for the MD government to agree to the independence of the Kokang region, this means that the war with the MD government will be long, and it will definitely not be a matter of time and a half.

Most of the Kokang Republican Army (IRA) were new recruits, and although many of them had previously lived in the military, there was a process of adaptation to the different environments and different methods of warfare.

At the same time, officers and soldiers come from different places, and not only are they not familiar with each other, but there are also some estrangements, which may also affect combat effectiveness.

Now these people are fighting completely with enthusiasm, and if you analyze it from the hard indicators, the combat effectiveness may not exceed that of the MD government army.

Pang Jindong understands the principle of "one blow of energy, then decline, and three exhaustions", so it is necessary to achieve an easy-to-achieve strategic goal as much as possible in one go, and at the same time temper the contingent, increase experience, and also increase familiarity and tacit understanding between people in the army, so as to prepare for the next long-term war.

In addition, as for the territorial scope of this independent country, Pang Jindong believes that it cannot be limited to the current Kokang Special Zone and the Fourth Special Zone, otherwise the area of the country will be somewhat small.

What Pang Jindong wants is a strong country, and it can even be said that he wants to build another Z country overseas, not just an independent Chinese regime.

In order to build a strong country with sufficient development potential, it is necessary to have a certain size of territory and population.

Throughout the history of the world, we can see that those small countries can become powerful countries, even if they are fleeting.

Pang Jindong believed that the new state should be based on the current Shan state at the lowest level, and if given the opportunity, it should annex other states, even the lands of neighboring countries.

Therefore, the Kokang IRA should first outline a blueprint for the future of government, rather than waiting for the complete defeat of the MD government to declare independence.

The annexation of the 2nd and 3rd Special Regions of Shan State proceeded smoothly, and after the arrival of the Kokang Republican Army, the armies of the two Special Regions surrendered unconditionally and accepted the reorganization, and the government expressed its support for the Kokang Government and the Kokang Republican Army to establish a unified government and army in Shan State, and to establish an independent state free from the rule of the MD government.

As a matter of fact, the desire of separatism has always existed among many ethnic minorities, but they do not have the opportunity, let alone the ability, to turn this wish into reality.

Now that the Kokang IRA's victory has given them hope, a break with the MD government is entirely expected.

Of course, the surrender of these two SARs is also due to the fact that the Kokang Republican Army is strong enough.

Although they now share the same goals as the Kokang Republican Army, Pang Jindong predicts that when independence becomes a reality, the forces of various ethnic minorities and the various regimes that originally belonged to them will begin to compete for power.

If it is not properly handled in the future, it is not impossible that the country will be divided back to its original state, and it may be broken by the MD government again.

Although these problems have not yet erupted, Pang Jindong believes that it is necessary to take precautions, so he has formulated a number of targeted policies, such as trying to downplay the Chinese color of the Kokang government, in order to try to avoid such a split in the future, at least so that the possible conflict will not be so violent.

When the entire Shan State was brought under the control of the Kokang government, the task of conquering the Shan State was put on the agenda.
