In fact, attaching importance to education has always been an excellent tradition of the Chinese nation, but it has been inherited very well by the Kokang people.

In contrast, other ethnic groups in the region have neglected education, and even to this day the "theory of the uselessness of reading" prevails.

Of course, this is also because these ethnic cultures are backward and homogeneous, and cannot be compared with the Kokang people, who have a rich and diverse culture.

Moreover, they do not have educational theories and systems, lack people who can serve as teachers, and as a result, they are unable to provide adequate and good education for their own offspring.

Under these circumstances, many residents of other ethnic groups who aspired to cultural knowledge sent their children to study in Kokang schools.

It can be seen that after these children enter the Kokang school, they receive a complete Han culture education, and such people must have a natural sense of closeness to the Han nation.

The Kokang School has adopted a very sensible wrong method in this regard, that is, it does not refuse the children of these ethnic minorities, and even waives all tuition and miscellaneous fees, thus cultivating a large number of ethnic minorities who are pro-Kokang people.

In addition, due to the large number of Kokang people, the economic life is relatively developed, which also affects the inhabitants of other ethnic groups.

Many ethnic minorities who have not received an education in Chinese culture also understand Chinese and have accepted Chinese culture to a certain extent.

Because the moderate temperament of the Han people can treat other ethnic groups equally and friendly, and the openness and inclusiveness of the Han culture can absorb the beneficial elements of other ethnic cultures, these ethnic minorities do not have rejection and misgivings about such assimilation.

As a result, over the years, the relationship between the ethnic minorities in the Rolling Area and the Kokang people has been very good, and there are even many ethnic minority youths who regard themselves as Kokang people at all, and the most representative of them is Dechen Bataan.

Dechen Pataan was originally of Burmese ethnicity, but since his mother died at an early age, few people know that his mother was a Kokang person.

Like many other ethnic minority children, he grew up among the Kokang people who were rolling around, and learned about Han culture from an early age.

Due to the dual influence of blood and culture, today's Dechen Padan is completely Kokang in nature, except that the daily conversation is Burmese.

Speaking of which, Dechen Bataan was very dissatisfied with the MD government, but when he became an adult, he accidentally joined the MD government army.

Although Thonglai used every bad word imaginable to describe Dechen Bataan, Dechen Bataan was in fact very talented and rose through the ranks quickly.

Because Dechen Batan was of Burmese ethnicity, the MD government army was appointed as the commander of the 206th Regiment, considering the ethnic composition but ignoring the personal background.

Although Tong Lai was aware of the background problem, he did not realize what kind of impact this background would have, otherwise he would never have sent the 206th Regiment to attack Changqing Mountain.

Based on the above reasons, although there were no Kokang people in the 206th Regiment, they were all a group of people who were unwilling to fight with the Kokang people.

For Deqin Bataan at this time, he did not feel the slightest atmosphere of battle, and was lying on a beach chair looking at the beautiful scenery of Changqing Mountain, enjoying the gentle breeze, but feeling very comfortable.

"Pang Wenlan, I asked the troops to put on a look like this, you should know my intentions......" Deqin Badan thought in his heart, feeling a little tired, and slowly closed his eyes.

"Regiment Commander ......" At this time, the regimental chief of staff came to Dechen Bataan's side and reported: "The division commander Tonglai has just sent an order, asking us to quickly concentrate all artillery fire to bombard Changqing Mountain!"

"Let's shell Changqing Mountain?" Dechen Badan opened his eyes and asked the chief of staff, "What do you think we should do?"

"Now that Tonglai has given the order, we will firing two shots symbolically!"

"Symbolically firing two cannons, and the shells don't cost money?" Dechen Badan snorted softly from his nostrils, although on the surface it seemed to be settling economic accounts, but in fact it gave people the impression that it meant something else: "The guys in charge of logistics are always making things difficult for our regiment, and the ammunition often cannot be replenished in time! If we run out of shells here, if there is an important battle in the future, where can we get the shells?"

"But......" The chief of staff frowned, and said uneasily, "If I let Tonglai know......

"If you let Tonglai know, you will definitely not let us go!" The chief of staff only said half of what he said, and Deqin Bataan said it all for him, and then said very disdainfully: "Even if we fire here, after we go back, Tonglai will not let us go!"

The chief of staff was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Why?"

"Because we marched too slowly along the way, we couldn't rush to Changqing Mountain as soon as possible to help the advance troops! Those unlucky bastards are now wiped out, and Tonglai will definitely settle this account on our heads!" After a pause, Tonglai added: "On the other hand, even if we hurry all the way and rush to Changqing Mountain as quickly as possible, and the battle is won, Tonglai will still find a way to get rid of the 206th Regiment, and you don't know him!"

"I know this......" The chief of staff sighed and said with anxiety: "It is a matter of time before we get rid of our regiment!"

"I don't care, because I'm a Burmese, even if the 206th Regiment is gone, I can be transferred to other troops, and I won't be the commander of the regiment anymore!" But ......what about you?" Dechen Bataan said this, and glanced at the chief of staff: "You are all ethnic minorities, the chief of staff, you are a member of the Banglong clan, do you think Tonglai will leave you behind?"

The chief of staff reluctantly admitted: "I won't ......"

"When the time comes, if you can return to your hometown, you will be considered to have good fruit to eat! However, it seems that this is unlikely, and with Tonglai's style of acting, he will definitely find an excuse to shoot you all! Not because of anything else, but because you are an ethnic minority and have served as soldiers, you are likely to become an anti-government force in the future!"

"That's what happened...... Chief of Staff knew that Thongley would kill a lot of people for something that was not good for him, even if the odds of it actually happening were low.

"So, let's just look at the scenery honestly here!"

"But we can't see the scenery here for the rest of our lives, and the other troops are likely to come soon!"

"I'm trying to figure it out!" Dechen Bataan waved his hand and said no more.

When Thonglai became Dechen Bataan's top boss, the two were like cats and dogs, with a natural animosity towards each other.

Because of Dechen Bataan's style of action and opinions, Thonglai must look for opportunities to deal with it quickly.

Dechen Bataan knew this very well in his heart, and he hated Thonglai very much, the arbitrary butcher.

Sooner or later, the two will go head-to-head, so Dechen Bataan has been buying hearts and minds in the army and preparing for a showdown.

Because Dechen Bataan had no official rank and treated junior officers and soldiers as if they were brothers, and were completely different from other Burmese officers, he enjoyed high prestige among ethnic minority soldiers.

As for what to do next, only Dechen Bataan himself knows in his heart.

Let's talk about Changqing Mountain.

Until all the officers and soldiers of the Kokang Republican Army took turns to rest, and then had a beautiful and full meal, there was still no movement from the MD government army on the opposite side, and the soldiers were seen gathered together in twos and threes, or chatting, or playing poker, all of them looked leisurely and complacent.

Pang Jindong dared to face a strong enemy, but he didn't know what to do with such a weak enemy, so he went to a meeting with Pang Tianpet to study countermeasures.

Pang Tianpet didn't say anything, just smiled "haha" and took Pang Jindong to see Pang Wenlan.

After Pang Wenlan heard these situations, he also smiled "haha", and then asked: "It should be the 206th regiment!"

Pang Jindong shook his head and said regretfully: "I don't know the other party's number!"

"It must be the 206th Regiment of Dechen Bataan!" Pang Wenlan nodded, and then ordered: "You go and fly a white flag, I want to talk to Dechen Badan!"

Pang Jindong took a deep breath and asked uneasily, "Can it work?"

"No problem. ”

"Fourth grandfather, don't get into danger, if you need to talk about something, just let me come forward!"

"No problem. Pang Wenlan shook his head slowly, and told Pang Jindong: "When I dealt with Deqin Badan, you hadn't come to this world yet, so I can say that I know him well. ”

Due to Pang Wenlan's stubbornness, the white flag was quickly raised.

Pang Jindong was worried that the MD government army would mistakenly think that his side was going to surrender, but this worry seemed a little redundant.

The soldiers of the MD government army did whatever they had to do, but a few officers left the ranks far away and stood at the foot of Changqing Mountain.

A moment later, Pang Jindong accompanied Pang Wenlan and came to the front of these officers.

For an army like the MD government army, don't expect to abide by any rules of engagement, Pang Jindong was very worried that they would launch a surprise attack, so he was very nervous to protect Pang Wenlan.

Pang Jindong himself always stood in front of Pang Wenlan, letting Tang Chuanjiang protect Pang Wenlan's side, and Masaharu Kazama and Nagano Fenghua followed.

The four of them were like iron buckets, tightly surrounding Pang Wenlan in the right.

Pang Jindong's arrangement made Pang Wenlan feel a little redundant, but at the same time relieved, and didn't say anything.

It wasn't until he saw Deqin Badan that Pang Wenlan gently pushed Pang Jindong away and walked over.

"Commander Deqin Badan, long time no see!" Pang Wenlan happily greeted the other party and stretched out his hand at the same time.

"General Pang, don't come to harm!" Deqin Badan, who spoke fluent and standard Yunnan dialect, shook Pang Wenlan's hand with a smile.

Dechen Bataan was slender and whiter than the locals, and he looked a little Sven, not at all like a soldier.

Pang Jindong carefully observed the officers brought by Deqin Badan, and found that they were all standing there relaxedly, their eyes all falling on the two people who were talking, and there was no sign of a surprise attack.

The people on the side of the Kokang Republican Army are just as relaxed, but in comparison, Pang Jindong seems to be a little fussed.

Pang Jindong breathed a sigh of relief, but he still didn't dare to relax his vigilance, and always observed the MD government army from the corner of his eye.

In fact, Pang Wenlan and Deqin Ba Dan have always had private dealings, and they can be called old friends.

This is already an open secret among the officers of the Kokang Republican Army, and many officers of the 206th Regiment are well aware of it, but Thonglai has been kept in the dark, otherwise he would not have foolishly tried to use the Kokang Republican Army to eliminate this thorn in the side.

Soon, Pang Wenlan and Deqin Ba Dan have already started chatting, and this kind of scene is like an old friend who has been absent for a long time.

"Commander of Deqin Badan......" Pang Wenlan said and took out two boxes from his arms and handed them to Deqin Badan: "A few days ago, I sent my men to the country to do business, and I got two Shoushan stones. Originally, I wanted to send someone to send it over, but now that Commander Dechen Bataan is here, it is just right to give the sword to the martyrs. ”

When Dechen Bataan heard this, he hurriedly opened the box and took out two stones from it.

At first sight of this stone, Deqin Badan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he couldn't put it down.

Pang Jindong also has some hobbies for calligraphy and painting seal carving, and he knows at a glance that these two stones are Tianhuang stone in Shoushan stone, and they are also high-grade.

"I didn't expect this Deqin Bataan to be a lover of gold and stone!" Pang Jindong shook his head, quite surprised in his heart.

Dechen Bataan is indeed fond of gold and stone, and can even be said to be obsessed with it, and it can be called an outlier in the culturally barren soil of MD.

He played with it for a long time before he put the two stones back into the box and looked at Pang Wenlan again.

Pang Jindong noticed that his hand was clutching the box tightly, as if he was afraid that someone else would come and snatch it away.

"General Pang is so polite......" Deqin Ba Dan thanked him again and again, looking elated: "General Pang is always so generous to me, I really don't know what to say!"

"You and I have been friends for so many years, and the head of Deqin Bataan said this, which is too polite!" Speaking of this, Pang Wenlan sighed: "I originally planned to go over to visit these days, but I didn't expect to meet in this situation!"
