It is precisely because of the complexity of ethnic relations and the existence of various factions that Pang Wenlan led the remnants of the army to settle in the Kokang area, and he was always walking on thin ice, so he had to adopt such a method to create opportunities for survival and development.

At the same time, Pang Wenlan combined with the local Kokang people and obtained their support, and also adopted intermarriage, sinicization and other methods to absorb and integrate other ethnic groups.

This chameleon policy proved to be very effective, not only allowing everyone to focus on the three major forces in the Kokang region, buying time to grow their own power, but also making everyone think that they were just a wall-to-wall grass, thus hiding their true intentions.

However, for a long time, there have been many untruths in the outside world's speculation about the strength of the Kokang Republican Army, and Yang Jiawei's account of Pang Jindong also has some boasting elements in it.

According to the information that Pang Jindong has mastered, the Kokang Republican Army can mobilize only more than 1,000 troops today, of which only more than 300 are the real core forces, mainly the descendants of the remnants of the army and the Kokang people who agree with Pang Wenlan's political concept.

The rest are motley armies of various nationalities cobbled together, as well as international mercenaries from abroad.

On the surface, Pang Wenlan has worked hard in the jungle for decades, and the team he has developed is only more than 1,000 people, which is not as good as the mercenaries trained by his nephew and grandson in less than half a year in country M, but in fact, the problem is not so simple.

When Pang Jindong formed the Blood Lion Legion, he had the support of the high-level from the top of country M, the support of the brothers of the year, and the strong financial resources to support the huge expenses.

In contrast, Uncle Pang Wenlan has neither time nor geographical advantages, let alone peace, except for a group of remnants of the army that were defeated in the civil war, there is almost nothing.

In a completely unfamiliar land, in the face of complex ethnic relations and political environments, as well as enemies around him, it is already a miracle to be able to survive.

It can be said that the Kokang Republican Army can have today's strength, and Pang Wenlan needs to make a hundred times more efforts than Pang Jindong.

In addition, the history, politics and ethnic conditions of MD also determine that there will not be too strong forces here, and usually a small team of dozens of people can be the king and hegemon.

Peng Jiasheng, who rules the Kokang region today, was only a team of 150 people when he started.

And it is such a force, the number and combat effectiveness are not even a vanguard force when China was fighting, and it makes the MD government army helpless.

After decades of fighting, neither side did anything to the other, and in the end they could only sit at the negotiating table and sign a peace agreement, recognizing each other's existence.

After learning this, Pang Jindong couldn't help but wonder that although the British left and came back, today's MD can appear as a sovereign and independent country, but it has not been annexed by other countries.

Speaking of which, among these forces, there are those that are based on the nation and those that are based on political beliefs.

Pang Wenlan's original faction has now retreated to TW, and its leader still maintains indirect influence on the remnants.

This side once regarded these remnants of the army in a foreign country as the cornerstone of the counterattack on the mainland, but Pang Wenlan knew very well in his heart that this was just an impossible dream.

So he took the support given by TW, but he was only false and wronged, and did not make any substantive moves at all.

It was during the extremely anti-Chinese era of Ne Win that government forces intensified their attacks on all rebels, and the most powerful of them eventually dispersed.

At this time, Pang Wenlan had already solved the problem of foothold, but after all, he was a foreign army and stored in the territory of other countries.

In order to avoid the attack of the MD government forces, Pang Wenlan took the initiative to make a gesture, on the one hand, to express to the MD government that he supports national reunification, and on the other hand, to help fight other opposition forces.

In this way, Pang Wenlan gained the trust of the MD government and escaped the most difficult years.

At this time, a major event also happened, that is, based on the "sympathy of China and Burma", the government of country Z conducted territorial negotiations with MD, indirectly recognizing the unequal treaty signed between the British colonial government and the Qing Dynasty.

A large piece of land that originally belonged to country Z was included in the territory of MD, including part of Kokang.

Unfortunately, this honeymoon in exchange for territory did not last long, and by the sixties of the twentieth century, relations between the two sides collapsed.

The Chinese were hit by Yanzhòng, and the contradictions with the Burmese people also deepened.

Fortunately, the Kokang people were not as affected as the Chinese elsewhere.

Moreover, Pang Wenlan has begun to integrate into the local society, and the policy of keeping his eyes quiet and not showing off has made him lucky to escape this catastrophe, and he has been flexibly roaming the border areas of several countries.

Speaking of which, although opium poppy was cultivated in the Golden Triangle in the past, there was almost no refined heroin.

In order to survive, the armed forces of various factions began to become addicted to drugs, and the Kokang IRA, in cooperation with the other side, imported technology from abroad, began to earn the world's most dangerous wealth, and quickly grew into the largest drug cartel in the region.

For a time, heroin processing plants sprung up everywhere, and by the mid-80s, dozens of such drug factories had been established in cooperation between the two sides.

It's just that Pang Wenlan is very cunning and still not in the limelight, and the result is that the world's attention falls on the other side, but rarely pays attention to the Kokang Republican Army.

Let others be in the limelight is the reason why Pang Wenlan chose to cooperate with others, and he has always been careful to hide behind the scenes.

Even in the eyes of many people within the Kokang Republican Army, it seems that this kind of cooperation will continue so long, but Pang Wenlan does not see it that way.

He was already keenly aware that the forces that cooperated with him were running out.

In fact, just as Pang Wenlan predicted, a few years later, the world pattern has undergone earth-shaking changes, and it has also affected the most remote corners of the world.

Under these circumstances, Pang Wenlan brazenly tore apart the "friendly and cooperative relations" between the two sides, launched a surprise military attack, and took control of the territory of the partner.

Before the partner could react, another mutiny broke out, and it collapsed.

Pang Wenlan has already relied on the strength of the other party to expand his original small-scale drug business several times, although the scale is not as good as other big local drug lords in the period, but because of its unique production, supply and marketing system, its profits are much higher.

It seems that Pang Wenlan is about to usher in the spring of his career, but the actual situation is not.

Not only in the Kokang area, but also the rebels of other ethnic groups, such as the Karen and Kachin, began to be recruited by the government, and the armed forces that had once fed the army with drugs began to ban drugs.

It was from this that the current situation of the MD was established, and the leadership of the 1st, 2nd and 4th Special Regions in the country was all Chinese, and was formed by the three forces that had separated from the Communist Party of Burma.

They are nominally a special zone of the MD government, but in fact they are three of three states, each with its own independent army and a complete administrative system.

Kokang belongs to the First Special Zone, and the leaders of the Kokang National Democratic Alliance Army founded by Peng Jiasheng often say that "people are not as good as heaven", Pang Wenlan Taoguang has been in obscurity for so many years, and finally accumulated enough strength, I wanted to take advantage of the chaos to fight for Kokang's freedom and independence, and create a happy land for overseas Chinese, but I didn't expect that MD, who had been not peaceful, was now too peaceful.

Fortunately, although he did not accept the government's recruitment and did not reach an alliance with other forces, because Pang Wenlan has been keeping a low profile, neither the MD government nor other forces, including the Kokang National Democratic Alliance Army, have any intention of eradicating the Kokang Republican Army for the time being.

At least for now, he can still stay in Changqing Mountain, as a carefree mountain king, although Pang Wenlan's ambition is not so simple at all.

Speaking of which, the education and experience of people like Pang Wenlan make them usually like to use words such as "nation", "democracy", and "alliance" when forming political or military forces, and titles like "Kokang Republican Army" seem a bit nondescript.

In fact, this army was originally called the "Kokang National Alliance Army" in the past, but then Pang Wenlan saw a report about the Irish Republican Army and changed the name to what it is now.

He felt that there were some similarities between the two, both wanted to fight for the independence of the region and return to the mother country, and at the same time, it was because of the border drawn by the British that his mother country lost its original land, and the same people belonged to two different countries.

Moreover, the term "republican" includes a clear demand for the political system, which is clearly different from other forces.

But reconciliation has been achieved in Northern Ireland, and peace for the Kokang people remains elusive.

For Pang Jindong, I don't know why, but there is a feeling in my heart that my trip to Changqing Mountain will not be a gentle drizzle all the way.

Therefore, Pang Jindong decided to bring all the strength at hand, including the two companies that were on standby, the personal bodyguards Tang Chuanjiang and Nagano Kazuka, and the titular servant Masaharu Kazama.

But in this way, Tang Yun lived alone in the villa, considering that Chen Yubo might retaliate against her at any time, which made Pang Jindong a little uneasy.

And after Pang Jindong made this decision, Tang Yun was also very unhappy, because he was alone.

Pang Jindong was reluctant to bring Tang Yun because he was worried about becoming a drag.

As for Tang Yun himself, he remembered the fierce battle at the base of Hongyan Valley, but he was afraid that the same situation would occur this time, so he did not reveal the intention of following him.

Although Lin Peiwen can often accompany Tang Yun, she can't protect Tang Yun, and she herself is afraid that she will often face threats.

After thinking about it, Pang Jindong thought of a person - Liao Chenghao, who was the special soldier who collected waste after retirement.

After Pang Jindong sent Liao Chenghao to the group headquarters as a security guard, he never cared about his situation again, and he didn't know what he was doing now, so Pang Jindong called Han Feng.
