Of course, Pang Jindong understood that when his uncle suddenly looked back on the past at this time, he must have wanted to explain something.

So Pang Jindong didn't say anything, just stood there and listened respectfully, Pang Wenlan let out a long sigh, and concluded: "I, Pang Wenlan, have stood for decades, relying on the eight words 'military law is like a mountain, and rewards and punishments are clear'! Today, if I spare these two animals because they are my sons, it means that all my past decades have been done in vain!"

Hearing this, Pang Jindong knew that no matter what he said, it would be impossible for his uncle to change his mind.

Pang Jindong thought about it for a while and decided to start from the side: "Since the fourth grandfather said that this matter is not only related to our Pang family, but involves the entire Kokang Republican Army, then it cannot be solved according to the family law of the Pang family, but should be solved by the military law of the Kokang Republican Army!"

As soon as Pang Jindong's voice fell, everyone cast strange eyes, because everyone didn't know what Pang Jindong's words meant, and what was the difference between the family law of the Pang family and the military law of the Kokang Republican Army.

Only Pang Jindong knows very well in his heart that although the two are decided by Pang Wenlan alone, there is a big difference.

At least, Pang Jindong can make a difference, as long as his uncle agrees with his own point of view.

Pang Wenlan did not express his position clearly, but asked Pang Jindong: "If it is a family matter, you can speak as a member of the Pang family! But as a matter of the Kokang Republican Army, as an outsider, what qualifications do you have to speak?"

Pang Wenlan said, a sly look flashing in his eyes.

Pang Jindong had long found out that his uncle wanted to pull himself into the Kokang Republican Army, but he never found a chance to speak.

And now this mention of his own is inadvertently giving this opportunity to his uncle.

Pang Jindong looked at the two uncles kneeling on the ground, as well as the tearful cousin, took a deep breath, suddenly stood upright, and said sonorously: "The current commander of the Blood Lion Legion, Pang Jindong, applies to join the Kokang Republican Army, and I implore General Pang Wenlan and Commander-in-Chief Pang Tianzhong to approve it!"

Pang Wenlan and Pang Tianpet glanced at each other, and the two of them smiled slightly. Although the smile was very slight, Pang Jindong saw it very clearly in his eyes.

Pang Wenlan nodded and said slowly, "I agree!"

Pang Tianchong then said: "I also agree!" Then, Pang Tianzhong leaned down slightly and respectfully asked Pang Wenlan: "Father, what position do you think Pang Jindong should be assigned?"

Pang Wenlan thought for a while, and then replied: "Let him be your assistant and assist you in your work......

Pang Tianpet asked again: "What kind of assistant?"

Although Pang Jindong was very happy to do something for the Kokang Republican Army, he didn't want to get involved too deeply, so when Pang Wenlan said "assistant", Pang Jindong was somewhat relieved.

As long as he does not hold an administrative position in the Kokang Republican Army, it is acceptable to Pang Jindong.

But what Pang Wenlan said next to Pang Tianpet made Pang Jindong's nerves tense again: "Let Pang Jindong serve as the deputy commander-in-chief, responsible for all affairs in the army, and only be responsible for you!"

Pang Tianpet nodded: "This arrangement is very good!"

Pang Jindong originally thought that if he didn't let himself give a hand to his uncle Pang Tianpet, then he should serve as a company commander or battalion commander, and then slowly train and promote.

Considering the power and connections he now has, Pang Jindong believes that the biggest possibility is to put himself in charge of some external affairs, such as buying weapons and ammunition or smuggling drugs.

Pang Jindong never expected that his uncle would appoint himself as the deputy commander-in-chief from the beginning.

To be honest, although Pang Jindong is young, he has no qualifications in the Kokang Republican Army, let alone any connections, but Pang Jindong's strength and talent during this period of time make no one dare to underestimate him.

Considering the new atmosphere that Pang Jindong may bring to the Kokang Republican Army, as well as the increase in strength, after Pang Wenlan has made a series of foreshadowing, this appointment will be a matter of course, and no one will raise objections.

Although he was unwilling, in order to exonerate the two uncles as much as possible, Pang Jindong could only not dwell on this matter: "Since I am now the deputy commander-in-chief, then allow me to make a little comment on the issue of the two ...... Pang Tianxiao and Pang Tianbiao from the perspective of the Kokang Republican Army!"

Pang Wenlan made a "please" gesture: "Say it." ”

"I have already said that the behavior of Pang Tianxiao and Pang Tianbiao should be dealt with in strict accordance with the military law of the Kokang Republic!" Pang Jindong paused and continued tentatively: "A complete military law system is the hallmark of a real army, and it is also one of the important differences from other armed forces, and it is also a must for a modern army. I believe that the goal of the Kokang Republican Army is to be a truly modern army, not to rest on its laurels and to be an illegal armed force that is not recognized by anyone. ”

Pang Wenlan nodded and motioned to Pang Jindong: "Go on!"

"True military law has a complete system, and this system cannot be made by the same person, supervised by the same person, and punished by the same person......"

The so-called complete military justice system is exactly what the Kokang Republican Army lacks, although there is also a clear system of regulations, but as Pang Jindong said, the same person makes the rules, the same person supervises the implementation, and the same person punishes, and this person is Pang Wenlan.

Therefore, Pang Jindong's words actually touched Pang Wenlan's authority, so Pang Jindong stopped when he said this, and observed Pang Wenlan's reaction with anxiety.

Pang Jindong's expression was calm, and he still just nodded: "Go on." ”

"Taking country Z as an example, there are military procuratorates and military courts, the former is a legal supervision body set up in the military system, belongs to the military system, and is also an integral part of the procuratorial organs, working under the leadership of the Supreme People's Procuratorate and the General Political Department. Its functions and powers are to exercise procuratorial power in cases of crimes committed by military personnel, to accept cases of crimes committed by servicemen, civilian personnel of the armed forces and staff members in accordance with the principle of exclusive jurisdiction, and to file a lawsuit with a military court once a crime has been established. The military courts of the latter are the judicial organs responsible for the trial of these cases......"

After Pang Jindong finished speaking, Pang Wenlan smiled slightly and asked: "What do you mean is that the Kokang Republican Army should establish a sound judicial system, and then use it to try and convict Pang Tianxiao and Pang Tianbiao!"

This sentence was originally what Pang Jindong wanted to say, but now Pang Wenlan took the initiative to put it forward, which made Pang Jindong secretly relieved: "The fourth grandfather is wise!"

If the family law is enforced, it is naturally Pang Wenlan who has the final say, and Pang Jindong's opinion essentially means that the implementation of the military law cannot implement the patriarchal style.

For Pang Wenlan, who has always been arbitrary at home, whether he can accept this concept, Pang Jindong is very unsure in his heart.

Pang Jindong's words made everyone present see a glimmer of life for Pang Tianxiao and Pang Tianbiao, and they all echoed it.

Pang Wenlan frowned, pondered for a long time, and finally said categorically: "Just do what Jindong says, and leave the specific matters to Tianpet in charge!" and then instructed Pang Jindong: "You should have some experience and understanding of the preparation for the establishment of a complete military justice system." What specific things need to be done, I want to help your uncle. ”

"No problem, fourth grandfather, don't worry!" It was only at this time that Pang Jindong really relaxed, glad that he had finally saved the third and fourth uncles.

Pang Wenlan soon decided to keep Pang Tianxiao and Pang Tianbiao under close guard, and wait until the military court was established to try and convict them.

Although Pang Tianxiao and Pang Tianbiao's families were skeptical about whether the military court could open up the net for the two of them based on their understanding of Pang Wenlan, this mention allowed the two of them to live for a while longer, so they expressed their gratitude to Pang Jindong.

After these decisions were made, the crowd dispersed.

Yang Jiawei quietly came to Pang Jindong's side and said with a little dissatisfaction: "Didn't I tell you not to make a sound?!"

Pang Jindong said helplessly: "But they are my uncle after all......."

Yang Jiawei interrupted Pang Jindong's words: "But this mention of yours can't save the lives of Pang Tianxiao and Pang Tianbiao!"

Pang Jindong asked strangely: "Why can't you?"

Yang Jiawei sneered and asked rhetorically, "Why can?"

"The preparation and establishment of this military justice system requires a process, and the process is very complicated and cumbersome, such as formulating relevant laws, regulations and operating procedures, selecting and training relevant personnel, and so on. If I try to deliberately delay it a bit, it will inevitably take a long time! When the third and fourth uncles can be tried, and the fourth grandfather's anger is almost gone, when the time comes, everyone will work together to intercede, and I believe that the fourth grandfather will definitely show mercy outside the law. Taking a step back, even if the fourth grandfather refuses, as long as the military court makes a lenient judgment, the fourth grandfather will definitely respect it. Because the military court was established with his consent, if he did not respect the verdict, it would be tantamount to embarrassing himself and making it more difficult to enforce military law in the future. Moreover, if a military court makes a judgment, the result will be easily accepted by others, and it will not be criticized for unfair law enforcement, nor will it affect the enforcement of military law in the future. ”

Yang Jiawei sneered again: "How can you be sure that the military court will give a lenient sentence?"

"After all, the third uncle and the fourth uncle have some influence and connections in the Kokang Republican Army, and considering that the two of them are the sons of the fourth grandfather after all, I believe that the person in charge of the trial will not embarrass them!"

"Hmph!" Yang Jiawei's face was full of disdain, and he waved his hand and said, "Pang Jindong, you think you are a smart person, why are you confused now?"

Yang Jiawei's words made Pang Jindong confused: "What do you mean?"

"First, I can assure you that this system of military justice will be established as quickly as possible. The reason is that General Pang has always been very efficient, and he has already made up his mind to let these two sons die......"

"How can you be sure ......"

Yang Jiawei ignored Pang Jindong's rebuttal, but continued: "Second, Pang Tianxiao and Pang Tianbiao manipulated the Burmese soldiers to rebel, and General Pang will definitely purge the two of them. Third, everyone in the Kokang Republican Army knows that General Pang is selfless in his implementation of military law, and even if General Pang does not deliberately make a request, the people under him will not give them two sides to open up their nets to curry favor with General Pang, otherwise they will be unlucky. ”

In fact, these truths are obvious, but the so-called authorities are obsessed, in such a tense situation just now, Pang Jindong's mind only thinks about how to keep the two uncles, but completely ignores the comprehensive consideration of all factors. At this time, when he heard Yang Jiawei say this, he was immediately dumbfounded, and he didn't know what to do when he stood there.

"If you don't believe it, let's just wait and see!" Yang Jiawei said, shaking his head and leaving.

Let's talk about the Kokang Republican Army's biggest opponent, Thonglai's side.

After taking office as division commander, Thonglai not only strictly enforced military discipline, but also carried out structural reform of the 77 th Division, eliminated the bloated administrative and command organs, and enriched a large number of personnel to the grassroots units.

Moreover, when Tonglai did these things, he first took his own knife and drastically cut the staff directly under him.

As a result, Tonglai, who was supposed to be used by a large number of people, now has only one assistant left by his side, who also doubles as an orderly and a herald.

There is no doubt that this herald was the most stressed person in the entire 77th Division, and the most susceptible to heart disease.

He prayed every day that good news would be brought to Thonglai, otherwise he would inevitably become a punching bag.

However, the herald was unlucky, and brought bad news to Thonglai - with the cooperation of the Chinese Burmese soldiers of the Kokang Republican Army, the troops that seized Changqing Mountain were completely annihilated.
